West Midlands PR agency marks best year in business

A West Midlands PR and marketing agency has achieved its best year in business following a period of rapid growth.

R&Co Communications, which has offices in Leamington Spa and Birmingham, has generated its biggest-ever fee income after achieving 14 per cent growth year-on-year.

The milestone follows a 39 per cent increase in fee income in 2024, when the agency celebrated its 45th year in business.

R&Co, which specialists in PR, SEO and social media marketing, has welcomed new clients across a range of industries in the last 12 months, including the automotive, ecommerce, veterinary and charity sectors.

Its new partnerships include Romanian dog rescue charity Speranta Shelter, personalised children’s brand My 1st Years and veterinary industry specialists Ronda Vet and Hallmarq Veterinary Imaging.

The team received recognition for their ongoing success at the Midlands PRCA Dare Awards in Birmingham, picking up the Medium Consultancy of the Year accolade – a year after winning the Small Consultancy trophy.

Peter Robinson, managing director at R&Co, said: “We’re proud of our achievements over the last 12 months and to be entering our milestone year in such a strong position.

“This is the result of the hard work and vision of our whole team, who deliver excellence across every area of the business and are committed to adapting to the changing needs of our clients, as well as the evolving media and marketing landscape.
“We’re looking forward to seeing what we can collectively achieve in 2026.”

The agency was founded in Leamington Spa in 1979 as Newsline PR, rebranding to R&Co Communications and expanding its digital marketing services in 2022.
