Flow’s passionate and dedicated public relations (PR) team offers effective and relevant ideas on building brands, developing and protecting corporate reputations, establishing long-term relationships with stakeholders, contributing towards the profitability of a business, and minimising the impact of reputation-damaging incidents.
We achieve this by using creative ideas based on a holistic strategy. We recognise the role of traditional media and new media platforms as efficient channels to take a message or position to market, and create strategies that make the most effective use of innovative technologies that are changing the face of communications.
As a business, we look at the challenge first before recommending a solution. We develop systems, procedures and tactics for our clients to allow them to simplify and effectively manage complex processes when dealing with a diverse stakeholder base with varied needs.
We have a diverse range of clients, from global brands to smaller, sometimes rather quirky clients.
