Paratus Communications

At Paratus we strongly believe that creating bespoke teams is the only truly effective way of serving clients, because no two briefs or assignments are the same. We create the right team every time. Depending on our brief, we draw on appropriate senior strategic or junior tactical support for our clients. We do this by combining the skills of our central team with mobilising the power of senior, independent consultants and select our teams from a pool of several thousand experts in the UK and world-wide. This is the model we employ for Green Homes Concierge Service, Shell, Starbucks, AXA, The National Lottery, Waitrose and many other clients. The company was founded by Dominic Shales and John Rivett – former senior executives at Hill & Knowlton - in October 2003. We have 12 full-time employees, but on any day, we have up to 50 specialist consultants engaged on our clients' business. Paratus was ranked third fastest growing communications agency in 2006 by PR Week. Further information can be found at: www.paratuscommunications.com.

Testimonials about Paratus Communications

The work Paratus have done to raise the profile of the Green Homes Concierge Service , and encourage people to sign up for assessments, has been excellent. Our main objective is to get people to use the service, and all the work Paratus have done has completely had this result in mind. Since our launch in December 2007, media coverage has been consistently high quality with very good key message penetration. Research into the impact of the marketing we have done to date has proven that the PR campaign has been extremely effective, with clear upsurges in enquiries about the service on the days around coverage appearing.
