City Road Communications develops integrated, impactful PR and communications strategies for organisations across financial services, technology, property, hospitality and professional services. We help clients define their message, reach the right audiences, secure high-quality media coverage and build lasting brand authority.
Financial Services
Our co-founders have more than five decades of combined experience in financial journalism, having built, launched and managed publications including What Investment, Personal Finance & Savings Magazine, Mortgage Introducer and the world-renowned Company REFS.
And our co-directors have more than 40 years’ experience in PR and comms. That editorial experience, combined with our network of specialist media contacts, enables us to secure top-tier coverage for financial services clients across national, international and trade media.
Over the past decade, we have worked with banks, mortgage lenders, insurers, investment firms, private equity houses, fintech companies and other financial services brands. We understand the sector in depth and know how to tailor PR and communications strategies for different audiences, including consumers, brokers, advisers, high-net-worth individuals, investors and business leaders.
Professional Services
Professional services is a broad category, covering recruiters, training organisations, accountancies, advisory firms, consultancies, legal firms and many other specialist businesses.
These organisations typically need to reach clearly defined audiences. A broad, scattergun approach to communications rarely works. Instead, professional services firms need carefully considered PR and communications strategies that ensure their messages reach the right people, in the right places, at the right time.
We take the time to understand the sectors our clients want to target, including the trends, challenges and opportunities that matter to their audiences. From there, we help each client communicate its expertise, build brand reputation and generate awareness through media coverage, content marketing, events and other channels.
The result is stronger visibility, better connections, greater trust and a communications strategy that supports business growth.
Technology
In the technology sector, the challenge is not just to be innovative. It is to be understood, trusted and talked about by the right people.
We work with technology companies of all sizes to define clear messaging and build communications strategies that help their voices cut through. Our clients range from start-ups and scale-ups seeking investment to established technology businesses looking to build consistent brand awareness and market authority.
Our experience spans a wide range of technology subsectors, including fintech, healthtech, spacetech and proptech. We help clients identify the topics that matter to their audiences, develop distinctive narratives and lead conversations in the media around their areas of expertise.
Property
Property has been at the core of City Road Communications since our launch. That experience gives us a strong understanding of the issues, trends and stories that shape the sector.
In a crowded market full of reports, commentary and insight from established brands, standing out depends on finding a clear and credible angle. Whether you operate in construction, proptech, property finance, commercial property or residential property, we can create a PR and communications strategy that elevates your brand and gets you seen by prospective customers.
Through media relations, research-led campaigns, thought leadership and topical commentary, we help property clients build brand awareness, earn trust and lay the foundations for long-term commercial success.
Hospitality
The hospitality sector is full of innovation, with new technology and B2B solutions helping businesses respond to rising costs, changing customer expectations and new opportunities for growth.
However, this also makes the sector highly competitive. New players are fighting for visibility, while headlines are often dominated by large, established brands.
We work with leading B2B hospitality businesses to help them cut through where others cannot. By developing integrated communications strategies, often led by unique research and insight, we help clients land their messages in front of prospective customers through targeted trade, national and sector media coverage.
