“Reputation can only be based on reality and behaviour: what organisations do, how they behave and how they communicate.”
Tony Langham, Co-Founder & CEO
We are a strategic reputation management consultancy, acting as trusted advisers to organisations across the world.
Founded in 1989, Lansons is now a top ten independent PR and public affairs consultancy, 100% owned by a third of its people. A partnership, with offices in London and New York, we blend expertise across customer, financial, policy, employee and media engagement to help build and protect reputations from the inside out, in ways that are authentic and purposeful.
Reputation cannot be built in channels, ‘by audience’ or in siloed teams. It is holistic and must be managed from the inside out, taking in multiple perspectives to inform decisions and only then, how we communicate.
That’s why we ground our advice in insights that capture the mood of society, from every angle. Our integrated strategies and creative ideas are built to work across multiple channels, helping organisations tell their stories, engage with and influence their key audiences in true and tangible ways.
And it works.
We have won nearly 100 awards for our client work and CSR initiatives. Whether our aim is to disrupt, gain ground, retain a position or take the lead, we develop authentic yet original ways of engaging the people that matter, in ways we can learn from.
