We started Rainier PR on 1 September, 1998. The day before I’d put up the shelves, wheeled in the wonky fridge and put up the desks.
How times change. Rainier grew to be an agency with a strong reputation in the technology sector (and a perennial iritant to some of its rivals).
Today we’re launching Speed, a new consultancy that will have Rainier as its technology team. Speed extends our reach into broader types of PR though, with corporate, business and consumer teams. And enables us to maintain our focus in each of these sectors while being part of a larger business with more clout and more ideas.
Speed is six months in the planning and hopes to make an impact at a time many PR firms are running for cover. I could wax lyrical on here about how we’ve instilled a modern approach, smarter methodologies and better measurement models. But that’d be blatant self-promotion.
My blog is now on this site. Expect your usual dose of frank and relentless insight.
Rainier PR’s been good to a hell of a lot of people and will be missed. Good luck to you Wadds and the rest of the team with Speed.
Here’s some headlines you can use:
“I feel the need for Speed”, says new client
Speeds Weeds out crap
Speed drinks mead
Steve Earls at full Speed (hurls)
Speed reads the news
Speed feeds (starving kids in Africa after REd Nose day money raising scheme)
Speed takes heed
You can have all of them apart from the last one
Thanks Tim, I see your headline-writing skills have developed handsomely. Ish.
Yes we have hired some very good people (yes, includes you) here over the years and plan to continue doing so. We have even hired non-Man Utd fans, but needs must.
