BUSINESS
AESTHETICS & HEALTH
Beauty can be a beast. In this fast-moving, high-value industry, precision is paramount and newness never goes out of fashion. Targeting influential beauty journalists and social media influencers, we ensure the right (plumped-up) lips are talking about you and your brand. From in-clinic showcase events, new product PR launches, through to award entries and covert relationship building with high-profile celebs and ambassadors, we have your back (and front).
Clients include: Air Aesthetics & Wellness, Dr Julia Sen, Fab Clinics, SV Aesthetics (Mayfair), Nature’s Truth and Nuffield Health Hospital.
CULTURE & ARTS
We boast an incredibly rich and varied experience within Theatre and Production press management, working with some of the biggest names in UK theatre on projects that have included directing Sir Ian McKellen, managing a BBC documentary and the first remote streaming VR theatre production in collaboration with The Guardian. From ongoing PR, reviews, media training and talent chaperone, broadcast liaison – both recorded and live – our PR is (jazz) hands-on.
Clients include: Curve, Spark Arts, Loughborough Town Hall, Zest Theatre, 2Funky, Joe Orton Statue Project, Belgrade Theatre and Great Central Railway and many more.
SPORT
It’s been our privilege to shine a spotlight on under-represented sports and athletes. We celebrated wheelchair rugby and helped launch the King Power Quad Nations wheelchair rugby tournament organising high-level, multi-channel press opportunities, and powerful sponsor events that has helped change perceptions of the sport.
We struck gold in leading the PR for Europe’s largest LGBTQ rugby tournament, IGR Union Cup, in Birmingham, which created over 244 pieces of coverage that was seen by a global audience of over 425million.

Who do the leaders lean on? FU Media, that’s who. Working with industry leaders, business coaches, and esteemed figures from the Establishment, it’s our privilege to shine a spotlight on some of our country’s most important minds and organisations - keeping them in (and sometimes out) of the public eye. From intimate dinners for high level delegates, through to major business showcase events, PR, and our business introductions service, we are trusted and discreet hands.
Clients include: Birmingham Law Society, De Montfort University, High Sheriff of Leicestershire, Nucleus HR and The Insight Centre.
