What our London PR company does for you
Ballou has had its own London office for years, at 70 White Lion Street: not a sales desk, but a team working the UK market every day. Our London consultants know the desks at TechCrunch, Sifted, the BBC, The Register and Business Insider personally. And when your story needs to travel, our Paris, Berlin and Barcelona teams pick it up. No change of contact, no handover to a partner network.
Journalists we know by name
Media relations can't be mandated; they're built. Our consultants have covered the same tech, business and innovation desks for years. That's the difference between a release that's binned and a call that lands.
European reach with no seams
What works in London deserves to travel to Paris, Berlin and Madrid. Our local teams carry it with each market's own codes, not a translation blasted out to a list.
Reporting your board can read
Share of voice, sentiment, impact on brand search, contribution to pipeline. Beyond counting clippings, you measure what PR actually returns.
Real results, not promises

Oliver HolleManaging Partner, SpeedinvestYour message in front of the audiences that matter
A selection of articles secured by the Ballou teams over the last 24 months. Not Google News filler, articles read by your customers, investors and talent.
You're in the right place if…
Ballou supports companies that make communications a strategic lever for their growth.
You are a tech company between Series A and IPO, or an established business in transformation.
You see communications as a performance driver, not a checkbox.
You are approaching a key phase, raise, IPO, M&A, European expansion, major product launch.
You want a long-term partner with European reach, not a one-off agency.
35 consultants, 4 offices, one team
London, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona. Integrated specialists who master local media, cultural codes and editorial rhythm in each market. No outsourcing, no scattered freelancers.
Are you a PR agency or a communications agency?
Both. Ballou is a communications agency for B2B and B2C tech companies and VCs, with PR at its core: media relations, content writing, social media, media training, crisis communication, events, public affairs and IPO communications.
Which media do you reach from London?
The desks your customers, investors and talent actually read: TechCrunch, Sifted, the BBC, The Register, Business Insider and the Financial Times, plus the trade press in your sector. Recent work includes Sumsub on the BBC, 2150 in TechCrunch and OpenNebula in The Register.
Do you work with companies like ours?
Ballou has focused on tech for more than 25 years, with 800+ clients: SaaS companies such as Box, monday.com, Anaplan and Cloudflare; consumer brands such as Duolingo, Waze and eBay; and funds such as Speedinvest and Molten Ventures.
Are you a UK-only agency?
No. Ballou has four owned offices (London, Paris, Berlin and Barcelona) and 35 consultants. You keep your London contact, but your story is carried by local teams in every market.
How do you measure results?
Beyond volume and AVE: share of voice against your competitors, sentiment, impact on brand search and contribution to sales pipeline.
