About EMERGE

EMERGE is an innovative Brand Communications Agency, based in Central London. A client Portfolio including Huel, Sony, Spanx, rewardStyle, ViaVan, Nickelodeon, RayBan, Nocco, Another Space and Unilever Luxury Brands. Using behavioural cycles and predictive data to understand where brands are most likely to lose and build trust with consumers, we work to optimise the brand narrative for the most impactful campaigns. Working with a Data Analyst and an Agency Psychologist, we stress test all of our strategies and campaigns to provide our clients with the best route to market strategy. Our three divisions, Incubate, Elevate and Accelerate allow our input in the communications strategy and delivery to be much broader than a traditional PR approach. Understanding that the landscape has evolved, we must consider that traditional PR in isolation drives different results in 2019, and the integration of new forms of media, podcasts, awards, speaker opportunities and creative new hijacking is imperative for broader success. We work primarily with brands that have a mission bigger than the product offering itself, striving for change in their chosen sector, with a focus on Tech and Lifestyle. EMERGE is founded on principles of Integrity, Curiosity, Communication and Kindness. The partners we choose share these brand values.
