PORTFOLIO

Skype’s vision nearly 20 years ago was to change the way people communicate, so anyone could stay in touch wherever they were via instant messaging and video. That vision is today a reality with Skype being known as the global brand that revolutionised the communications industry. 

 

We were involved in overseeing and executing the PR from the early days of Skype as a start-up through to the eBay acquisition. We achieved high profile media coverage in national and international media ranging from Tatler Magazine, The Sunday Times, Time Magazine, Radio Five Live and Channel 4 news.
