Build profile that inspires engagement

Hello

We’re Active Profile – an award-winning independent PR and marketing consultancy based in the North West of England.

We deliver highly targeted messaging across the UK for key sectors including property & regeneration, innovation & technology and business & investment.

On or offline, big or small – whatever we’re doing, we measure everything by the results. You won’t find any creatures of habit here. We like to stay agile, utilising the channels we need to pinpoint exactly what you want to say.

Sectors

Business & Investment

Is your profile working as hard as it could to attract new clients, members or investments? We work with forward thinking advisors and funders in a variety of sectors across the UK.  We work with individual, team and portfolio profiles delivering agile communications strategies.

Innovation & Technology

Innovation and technology shape the world around us. For the clients we work within these sectors – from tech start-ups, non-profits and product manufacturers – the landscape is constantly evolving. New business models emerge all the time and disruptive innovation is the norm.

Property & Regeneration

Regeneration and development equal progress. The property industry has been through some challenging times recently but things are now looking up. In cities across the UK more and more developers, housebuilders, contractors, architects, agents and advisors are making serious progress.

Our Services

So what do we do? It’s quite simple really. It all starts with a watertight strategy. We evaluate our clients’ commercial profile, and actively manage it to grow their business or organisation.

We believe just as passionately in what we don’t do, as what we do. For instance, we don’t do anything just for the sake of it. If it doesn’t have a clear, measurable objective, it won’t get onto our to do list.

Testimonials

  • “Professional Liverpool has always enjoyed a healthy relationship with the London Stock Exchange and this event was timed to generate positive content for the City region. I’m pleased to say we did just that and the media relations support delivered by Active Profile was handled pro-actively and yielded great results. As always, our partners and sponsors were delighted with the coverage”

    John Hall, chief executive, Professional Liverpool

  • "The team at Active Profile did a fantastic drop helping us to plan and deliver our iFest campaign – a safety campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of carbon monoxide with 18 – 24 year olds while camping at festivals. Their strategic approach and digital expertise, combined with creative thinking helped us to make the campaign a huge success reaching hundreds of thousands of people on Facebook and Twitter and driving people to play the educational game. The team are a pleasure to work with and always there to offer advice, I’d thoroughly recommend them!"

    Sian Fletcher, communications manager, Northern Gas Networks

  • "From the outset, Active Profile’s passion and expertise has been clear and the team has been instrumental in planning and delivering a tightly run and proactive communications strategy to promote City Place. The team’s experience combines a blend of strategic input, a wealth of experience in promoting property schemes and hands on experience having worked in the Chester press. The continued publicity on the development has been key to attracting interest from occupiers and conveying the strategic importance of the scheme both regionally and nationally."

    Phil Mayall, development director, Muse Developments

  • "Thanks are due to Active Profile who did a superb job in helping us with the design and production of the business plan, which was our key document for the ballot campaign, and advised on the marketing strategy. They also introduced us to Zut Media, who did a similarly great job in producing our ballot video to an impossibly tight timescale. The content, design and production quality of the business plan is better than any other documents of this type I have seen. The strength of the yes vote suggests that the very professional approach which Active Profile brought to design and production paid dividends."

    Jim Gill, chairman, Commercial District BID

  • “Starting a new venture is incredibly time consuming and it’s hard to keep in touch with people who will help drive the business forward. Active Profile has stepped into our team to take the pressure off. Having them on board means we can fly around learning and developing our network, knowing this will be captured and played back to our industry supporters quickly and coherently."

    Freddie Tilbrook, project lead, Energy Innovation Centre

  • "The service that Active Profile is providing is better than any agency we have worked with. The team has really made an effort to get to know the business. We know where we’re going and Active Profile has provided that direction. I am really impressed.”
