Hampton Bates Public Relations

Hampton Bates is a public relations agency led by Sylvia Hampton, who has worked in the field for more than 25 years. The firm says it has branded and marketed a range of organisations and helped them build both offline and online presence, work it describes as increasingly important given the popularity of the internet and businesses' need to compete globally. Its services include building relationships between clients and the audiences they want to reach, developing messaging and storytelling, and identifying partnerships, including with public figures, to support a client's brand or a cause it supports. The firm frames its role as helping clients position themselves within their industry through consistent, planned communication rather than one-off publicity.
