We are PR and media-strategists, reputation management experts and campaigners.

We are High-Rise.

We are Manchester’s media training and crisis communications experts.

From our HQ in Ancoats, central Manchester we provide strategic, helpful and timely communications and PR support to clients in the private, public and charity sectors in the North-West and across the UK.

As a B Corp, we’re counted among businesses that are leading a global movement for an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy. We’re proud to be a real living wage employer supporting a stronger GM economy by the way we run our business.

With a team that includes former journalists, we know what makes a story and how to reach your audience in the most impactful way possible. We are the people to guide you through projects carrying reputational risk – you can trust us to help you navigate a breaking news situation or plan for organisational change. 

When you work with High-Rise, you get more than a communications agency – you get a collaborative and friendly team who are dedicated to your organisation’s success.
