WE PROVIDE THE SAME SERVICES, TRUE...

But we don't simply identify problems, we come back with communications solutions - prompt, planned and effective action to address the situation. Note that in this particular public relations agency, it's Couchman that takes the action. We don't simply volley the job back to you.

WE SET STORE BY THE ADVICE WE GIVE, THE MATERIAL WE PRODUCE.

Every plan - every communication item to the last detail - must pass our internal scrutiny before anyone else gets to see it. We take personal responsibility. If you phone us with a query, whoever answers the phone knows instantly what you're talking about. Moreover, we won't let our client portfolio grow beyond the point where we can give that depth of service.

WE ARE PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTS.

Unlike some PR executives, we know how to write; how to make the complicated simple; how to express ideas clearly and arrestingly. It characterises everything we produce. And, of course, we also know how to shape and angle stories to exploit their potential news value - and which journalists to approach with them.

WE ARE SMALL AND COMPACT.

Couchman Communications carries no empty suits. Our people are hand-picked professionals. Our offices are utilitarian, fully networked and tooled-up for the work we do, part of the London public relations scene without being in it. Are these lower overheads reflected in our fees? Right. Another difference.
