When Sonovate, a fintech start-up providing contract finance to the UK recruitment market, was ready to launch, it needed to:
- Get the word out to recruitment business owners

- Attract investment to drive its growth
Our fintech PR strategy
We designed an integrated PR strategy, including:
- A series of news and thought leadership pieces targeted at recruiters via the specialist recruitment media.
- An influencer relations campaign within the recruitment industry.
- A series of thought leadership campaigns aimed at positioning Sonovate as a serious fintech player.
