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

We are High-Rise. From our Manchester base, we provide strategic communications support to clients 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 believe in the power of communications to change the world and that starts with our own communities. We provide strategic communications support to clients including technology-for-good platforms, national and regional charities, impact investment firms, social movements and more.

Managing Director Helen Furnivall started her career working as a business journalist before working in senior communications and strategy roles at the British Red Cross. Each day our award-winning team are helping to bring about stronger communities.  

With a team that includes several former journalists, we know what makes a story and how to reach your audience in the most impactful way possible. We are also the people to guide you through a crisis – you can trust us to help you navigate a breaking news situation. 

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. 

  • Our values

    We care about people and planet 

    As a B Corp, we’re counted among businesses that are leading a global movement for an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy.

    We lead with compassion

    Changing the world needs to start with our own actions and the people around us. We care for each other, the people we work with and the work we do. We have a supportive culture where our staff and clients know that they are valued and listened to. 

    We create purposeful impact

    We are not a fluffy PR agency, we care about real-world impact. Through strategic, relevant communications, we empower purposeful organisations to achieve their goals.

    As part our commitment to building stronger communities, we provide a limited amount of pro-bono each work each year to causes which are close to our heart and which might not otherwise benefit from the support we provide. For more information, see our B Corp page here.
