favours the bold

The bravest brands channel the ingenious.

Every PR agency can come up with creative ideas. Few agencies match superb strategy with cutting-edge storytelling and channel mastery. This is Smoking Gun’s point of difference. 

Our social media, influencer and media relations campaigns shift behaviour, build trust, and change perceptions. We move audiences to action.

Anybody with a bold vision and a desire to form a genuine, open and lasting partnership with their communications agency is welcome at Smoking Gun.

publicity, persuasion and proof

Our established team of strategists, digital experts, publicists and former national news editors will challenge you to think differently and exceed your expectations.

Its rigorous ‘Intention to Impact’ programme provides clear direction, creative ideas that cut through, and campaigns that integrate seamlessly across channels – delivering better results, greater efficiency and proof of real impact.

Recognised globally with nine AMEC Awards for effectiveness, success is not marked by spikes in reach or engagement, but by business outcomes – sales, penetration, market share.

Our Approach

Our 3 i's

01

Inspired Insights

Need to look at things from a different angle? Sometimes you just don’t know what you don’t know. Using a powerful combination of data analysis, desk research and qualitative/quantitative techniques, we’ll create a strategic communications strategy for you. Discover what your prospects want to hear and how you can approach it from a fresh point of view.

02

Ingenious Ideas

You’ve got the aspiration; we’ve got the ideas. We understand that great stories rely on strong narratives derived from data. But they also engage audiences emotionally and influence their behaviours. Our ideas workshops will put you under the spotlight and come up with creative new ways to tell your stories to win hearts and minds.

Intelligent Measurement

Let’s see just how well we’ve done. As one of the very first UK agencies proudly named a PRCA measurement champion, we’re not here to blind you with vanity metrics. We present clear, incisive reports that demonstrate our impact on your business and communications goals – with metrics and insights that stand up in the boardroom. Our measurement approach has been celebrated by the Association for Measurement and Evaluation of Communications through multiple global award wins.
