PR agency embraces ‘flexible-first’ model following "prestigious" award win

An award-winning London headquartered PR agency has renewed its commitment to its uniquely flexible model following news that offering flexible working may soon become law.

Corporate communications agency Schon&Co. has pledged to continue offering fully flexible working after landing a top award in one of the most “prestigious” industry awards in the UK.

Founded in 2020 by Dorset based entrepreneur and working mum Jess Schon, Schon&Co. has just been named Best Corporate & B2B PR Consultancy 2023 at this year’s UK Enterprise Awards.

Schon&Co., which specialises in public relations and communications in the corporate and B2B space, and works with a wide range of clients spanning sectors such as tech, engineering and logistics, has successfully operated a ‘flexible-first’ policy since its launch during the boom of home working.

The agency has reiterated its commitment to flexible working just days after a “landmark” law giving workers the right to request flexible working from their first day in a job completed its final stage in the House of Lords.

Schon&Co. has fully embraced the remote model in order to recruit the best B2B PR talent from across the UK, and has established a strong team of consultants with expertise in corporate communications.

Jess Schon, founder and MD of Schon&Co., commented: “In a world of change, we understand clients are looking for more efficient ways of operating, whilst still having the confidence that performance won’t be compromised.

“That is why we bring together experienced, specialist teams who are specifically equipped to offer clients the services and skills they need to communicate better, and are experienced enough to give them honest feedback and straight-talking strategic counsel.

“Our aim has been to offer a flexible environment so the team can work around their interests outside of work. It’s something I’m particularly passionate about, making sure that talented people don’t stop getting opportunities because their personal and professional lives don’t align.”

Among the firm’s client base is The APC, the UK’s largest independent parcel delivery network. The APC’s Marketing Director Jane Hart commented: “Schon&Co. has been working with The APC for several years now and they are brilliant. I couldn’t do my job without Jess and the team by my side.”
