A new force in the UK PR industry arrived today with the launch of Marlin PR, a full service PR agency, led by Jenny Tod, who was previously at Ogilvy PR.

Focussed on the technology, media and entertainment sectors, the industry’s latest addition is already working with Sony Professional Solutions UK and is supporting Sony Professional Solutions Europe at its biggest European trade show, IBC. The team is in conversation with a number of other brands.

With offices secured in Victoria and a four person team in place, including Senior Consultant Nicole Love, Marlin PR is committed to delivering innovative PR campaigns with intelligence and integrity for clients who want to accelerate their profile and fulfill their growth strategy.

Jenny Tod previously ran the 12-country, pan-European PR programme for Sony’s professional business whilst at Ogilvy PR. Prior to Ogilvy PR, she worked at Lewis PR.

According to Managing Director, Jenny Tod, Marlin PR is no ordinary small agency: “Bringing together the considered, confident and consultative approach of a big agency and the agility and energy of a smaller team, Marlin PR champions PR as a critical business tool. We understand how PR can most effectively accelerate and elevate a brand’s visibility and are passionate about delivering engaging, practical, results-driven PR campaigns.”

Marlin PR is an independent entity owned by Fraser Scales Holdings, which also owns Brands2Life. Marlin PR is located separately in its own offices, with its own management team, staff and IT systems.

“We have experienced considerable success since our formation in 2000 and we now have an enviable roster of clients,” explained Sarah Scales, Co-Founder, Brands2Life. “We have often been approached by companies who want to benefit from Brands2Life’s style of PR but have been unable to take them on because they conflict with existing clients. Now, in such situations, we can point those clients towards an alternative option. We were delighted to find such a dynamic and charismatic leader as Jenny to drive such an operation. ”
