Industry list ranks Tank as global player
Nottingham digital PR agency Tank has increased its ranking amongst the top PR agencies in the UK.
Ranked 156th, Tank is the highest placed East Midlands PR agency to feature in the PR Week Global Agency Business Report 2018.
The tables, which Tank had to enter to appear in, shows the agency had a turnover of £1.2m last year, a rise of 26% on 2016.
In addition to increasing its ranking from 168th to 156th this year in the listings, Tank ranked in the top 100 UK agencies for Corporate PR (60th), Tech PR (67th) and Consumer PR (73rd). Over the past two years Tank is shown to be the fourth fastest growing PR agency outside of London.
The listings also showed the firm, which recorded a 26 per cent increase in growth in 2017, was ranked 296th in the world.
This is the third year that Tank has featured in the report. Its best performance to date follows the news that the agency has bought and renovated 5 Kayes Walk in Nottingham’s Lace Market for its new headquarters, which it says will enable it to more than double the size of its team.
“Depending on who you listen to, there are probably 5-10,000 PR agencies/businesses which offer PR services in the UK, and we’re delighted to be sitting just outside of the PR Week 150 list, and ranking inside the top 80 for each of our specialisms,” said Tank director and founder, Trevor Palmer.
He added: “Over the past year, we have invested hugely into our team and work environment – and have expanded the business without losing sight of the values that made us stand out in the first place. It was rewarding to see the business rank 103rd in the independent agency PR Week listings too, as Tank has never received investment.
“Our clients are growing with us and our growth and increased exposure is attracting lots of new brands to come onboard – from Madrid to San Francisco. We now have the right foundations in place to aggressively increase our team from 25-45, and make a push higher into the PR Week rankings.”
