PR that earns attention from the people who decide

City Road Communications is a B2B PR agency in London. We work with financial services, technology, property, hospitality and professional services businesses that need to be known and trusted by a specific audience: buyers, investors, partners, regulators and the journalists who influence all of them.

Our work starts with positioning and messaging, then moves into media relations, thought leadership, executive profiling and research-led campaigns. Increasingly it also covers AI visibility, making sure that when a prospect asks ChatGPT, Copilot or Gemini who to speak to, the answer includes our clients.

Why clients choose CRC

  • We build media, not just pitch to it. CRC is part of MVI, which also owns the UKTN and PropertyWire brands. We understand what editors need because we run newsrooms of our own.
  • Senior people on every account. A director is involved in strategy and quality on every client, with an experienced account manager running delivery day to day.
  • Sector depth. Our team has spent years writing about and working in finance, technology and property, so we know the issues, the outlets and the journalists.
  • Measured against your objectives. We agree what success looks like before we start, then report against it: coverage quality, share of voice, audience reach and, where relevant, AI citations and enquiries.
  • 20+years’ experience each across our leadership team, in journalism, publishing and communications
  • 5 yearsaverage tenure of our team
  • 70%of our retained clients have worked with CRC for more than two years

What clients say

CRC has significantly improved our AI discoverability, increasing how often Inntelo AI appears on platforms like ChatGPT and Copilot. This has directly led to new business, with customers finding us through AI. High-quality, credible PR coverage has proven far more effective for AI visibility than low-quality sources, delivering a clear impact on our growth.

It is a joy to work with Hector and the CRC team. They bring expertise, creativity and positivity to every project, offload much of the complexity by planning ahead across multiple campaigns, and really understand what we need. Working with them feels like an extension of our own team.

Frequently asked questions

What does a B2B PR agency do?

A B2B PR agency builds the reputation and visibility of a company that sells to other businesses. That usually means defining positioning and messaging, securing media coverage, producing thought leadership, profiling senior leaders and running research-led campaigns. The aim is that the people who buy from you, invest in you or partner with you already know and trust your name before the first conversation.

Which sectors does City Road Communications specialise in?

We specialise in financial services, technology, property, hospitality and professional services. Our team has worked as journalists and communicators in these sectors, and our parent group owns UKTN and PropertyWire, so we understand the media landscape from both sides.

CRC is part of MVI, which owns UKTN and PropertyWire. Can clients buy coverage in those titles?

No. UKTN and PropertyWire are editorially independent, and their journalists decide what to cover on news value alone. CRC clients receive no preferential treatment, and we never promise coverage in any MVI title. What our publishing background does give clients is an inside understanding of how editors work and what makes a story worth covering, which we apply across the national and trade press.

How much does B2B PR cost in the UK?

Retained B2B PR with a specialist London agency typically starts in the low thousands of pounds per month for a focused programme and rises with the scope of media relations, content and campaign work. We agree a fixed monthly fee against a defined scope, so there are no surprises. Book a consultation and we will give you an honest view of what your objectives need.

How do you measure PR success?

We agree objectives and KPIs at the start of every engagement. Depending on your goals these might include coverage in named priority publications, share of voice against competitors, audience reach, inbound enquiries, speaker invitations, or how often your brand is cited by AI assistants. Reporting is monthly and tied to those objectives, not to vanity metrics.

How long does PR take to show results?

Reactive commentary and press office activity can generate coverage within the first month. Thought leadership, executive profiling and sustained authority typically build over three to six months. We plan for both: early proof points to build momentum and a longer programme that compounds.

What is the difference between PR and paid content?

Paid content is advertising space you buy, and it must be labelled as such. PR earns coverage through editorial judgement: a journalist chooses to run your story or quote your spokesperson because it is relevant and credible. Earned coverage carries more trust, and it is also what AI search tools rely on when deciding which brands to recommend.

Who will manage our account?

Every client has a director involved in strategy and quality, and an experienced account manager running day-to-day delivery. You will have regular contact with both. We keep teams stable: the average tenure in our team is five years, and most retained clients have worked with us for more than two.

What is AI visibility and why does it matter for B2B?

AI visibility is how often and how favourably your brand appears when someone asks an AI assistant such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini or Perplexity for recommendations. These tools draw heavily on credible third-party coverage. Earned media is now one of the most effective ways to make sure your business is the one they name.
