Consumer Industries
Consumer Industries
We have advised a vast range of retailers and home and fashion brands, from publicly-listed multinationals to digital-only challengers, as well as businesses defending hostile takeover bids, raising funds or listing on stock markets.
We have developed corporate communications programmes and helped retailers navigate the choppy waters of ESG, while also supporting major household names on reputational issues and crisis management. We also have a closet-full of fashion campaigns involving celebrity collaborations, influencer relationships, media partnerships, content creation and stand-out events; and vast experience advising manufacturers and retailers in the home and interiors space, from furniture and homeware to white & brown goods, lighting and DIY products. With a team of sector specialists covering media, policy, investor relations and corporate reputation, our deep and broad understanding of the retail sector enables us to provide integrated advice and delivery that is difficult to find elsewhere.
SEC Newgate advises some world-leading travel, hospitality and leisure brands, with our experience covering hotel brands, owners, operators, asset managers, online travel agents, destinations, pubs and restaurants.
From helping businesses to prepare for and manage reputational issues, to advising on M&A and financial calendar communications, developing written content, coaching executives to deliver speeches or communicate with media, or through traditional and digital media support, we develop comprehensive programmes to help enhance and protect business reputations. We also have vast brand communications experience across destinations, hotels, spas, health clubs, leisure outlets and attractions, having launched new travel & leisure brands and injected new energy into mature, established ones, with a mix of creative content, media, digital and experiential initiatives.
Our team of food and drink experts enjoy a well-deserved reputation for delivering insight-driven campaigns with a difference, to both B2B, B2C and policy audiences.
That’s because we have a wealth of experience in working for some of the biggest brands and companies in the FMCG world, as well as a host of smaller challenger brands. We have helped organisations navigate a complex political and regulatory environment to further their ambitions; advised on reputationally-threatening issues; developed detailed b2b campaigns and delivered big experiential stunts and influencer engagement strategies. With a wealth of expertise to help organisations engage their key stakeholders from trade partners and customers to consumers, regulators, investors and media, our team lives and breathes the food, drink and FMCG industries and understands the factors that drive it.
