Battenhall
In total, Battenhall won 78 new briefs and 10 major clients in the last year, more than double the target. This was underpinned by developments in the agency’s DE&I work, seeing Battenhall become the first PR agency to be signed up as a partner to Stormzy’s Merky FC program, and hiring four of the Merky FC cohort, twice the number originally planned.
This year Battenhall also spun out its social media safety non-profit, Raise, which made headlines for its work on improving social media safety for young people. This involved recruiting a global team of 24 volunteers in April 2025, including school students, agency MDs and in-house directors – from Sydney to Scotland, and Barcelona to Bristol. Through Raise, Battenhall delivered educational programs in schools, industry-shifting advisory, and is campaigning this year to positively influence social media regulation.
