Creative: Finn, Humans of Leeds, Cream PR
LEEDS-BASED PR and communications agency Finn has been named in PR Week’s Top 100 agencies.
The ten year-old firm was ranked 96th in the UK’s top firms, in a table which ranks firms on fee income.
Finn also enjoyed the biggest growth in the top 100 outside London, following a rise in fee income from £2.04m in 2014, up from £1.5m the previous year, winning clients such as Seabrook Crisps, Halo Foods and further work for Taylors of Harrogate.
The agency employs 24 staff and is looking to increase their workforce, after doubling their Round Foundry offices to over 3,000 sq ft.
Richard Rawlins, managing director of Finn, said: “Being named in PR Week’s top 100 UK PR agencies is extremely satisfying and is a fantastic reflection of our commercial proposition, which is to deliver genuine business outcomes for our clients. To achieve this you need exceptional talent, creativity and knowledge – things we have in abundance here at Finn.
“As a forward thinking agency in an industry that continues to evolve, Finn has plans in place to continue our growth, especially in the retail and consumer packaged goods sectors, over the next ten years and we are confident about further success in the future.”
The philanthropic project Humans of New York has come to Leeds.

The Humans of Leeds photographer, who has remained anonymous, said: “Humans of Leeds is important to me because it provides a creative outlet.
“I get to connect with people from all walks of life whose stories I am privileged to share with a great community of followers.”
