Democracy officially the fastest growing PR agency outside of London
Stop the press - we’re the fastest growing PR agency outside London. Prolific North’s annual audit of businesses in our sector has officially validated what we already had a pretty good feel for, that it’s been a big and successful year.
We have jumped to 14th in the Top 50 list as a result of an incredible year of growth for our clients in the food and drink sector, homes and interiors, gardening, energy, addiction rehab, coatings, work and safety wear, refrigerants and travel.
How have we done it?
We’re reliable, our work generates exposure across multiple channels and we successfully help our consumer and business clients to protect, connect and amplify their businesses to their wide mix of stakeholders.
2025 has been a big year for us. We’ve opened a new office in London, developed an AI visibility product, strengthened our strategic PR team and invested in our people.
When that client mix includes household names such as Flymo, Fray Bentos and Tequila Rose, industry giants like Certas and Arco and challenger brands looking to gain a bigger share of voice in their sectors, the need for a skilled and flexible team has never been more important.
A year of highs
The standout moments of 2025 at Democracy have almost been too many to mention. Seeing the work we deliver for clients not only generate buzz and engagement, but then also translate into business outcomes never gets old.
We crowned the UK’s top allotment at the stunning Le Manoir Aux Quat’Saisons in a new nationwide competition for Gardena, found the oldest Flymo lawnmower as the brand celebrated turning 60, launched a new 0% wine in a can for Eisberg at the beach in Cromer, took Tequila Rose to Glastonbury, worked with Big John the ‘Boshfather’ as national treasure brand Fray Bentos got festive and found Britain’s Toughest Tradie with Arco.
Why London?
Democracy took the big step in September of opening a second office, establishing a new base in Soho in the heart of London.
While lots of agencies outside of London complain about the ‘London bubble’ we have taken a different approach and brought our people-powered insights to the capital.
The agency has a reputation for hard graft, value and measurable difference, and we have learned how to win by understanding and engaging with people, whether they’re in London or the 87% of the UK population who live outside the capital.
Growth doesn’t stop
Like any good business, we’re not resting on our laurels. In fact, 2026 looks even more exciting with AI in particular shaking up the communications landscape..
Effective PR campaigns can increase AI visibility and help challenger brands gain first mover advantage over competitors.
Democracy is already well placed to identify the visibility of brands across all touchpoints and are busy working with clients to future proof them.
