We build momentum for brands with purpose

At The Tonic, delivering results is what drives us every day. Agency founder Kelly set up The Tonic after working for more than 20 years for leading UK and international agencies.

We know PR can be a demanding lark, but is work hard/play harder and a win-at-all-costs mentality the right environment to get good work done? We thought not.

So, The Tonic was formed, with the aim to work with brands and businesses in a partnership that is transparent, committed and delivers. Crucially, we wanted to work with organisations that are making a positive difference to the world we live in.

We work with organisations that make the world a better place, whether that's through health solutions, responsible tech and retail or sustainable transport.

Our Values

We believe that the most successful collaborations are driven by shared values. Here are our agency values, which are at the very heart of everything we do, underpinning how we approach our work, through to how we recruit our team.

Inquisitive

We’re naturally inquisitive and we challenge each other and our clients. We push the boundaries and find creative solutions to help meet our clients’ goals. Through perseverance, we find new ways to exceed expectations.

Positive

We have a can-do attitude and focus on the solution, not the problem. We're enthusiastic, hands-on and we go the extra mile to add value.

Efficient

We sell time (and expertise) to our clients, so it’s crucial we instill efficiency in all areas of our work. We're diligent and we don’t dawdle. Because being efficient means results are at the very heart of what we do.

Accountable

We can be relied upon as trusted PR consultants. We don’t deal in ‘smoke and mirrors’. We value transparency in all of our work and own our actions. We raise hands, not point fingers and trust our clients to do the same.
