Grayling UK

With nine offices across the country, Grayling is the most connected UK PR and comms agency and we have been on a year of transformation.

Our people first commitment has been the bedrock of a transformative year that has shaped our work with clients old and new; helping us to deliver work that inspires and motivates, to bridge the diversity gap, remove barriers, increase representation and empower individuals. Our desire to create an equitable agency has forged several pioneering partnerships. We are a founding corporate partner of Global Purpose Enterprise, a mentorship programme available for underrepresented talent in our agency and a founding member of PR Mums. Our apprenticeship scheme with Creative Access builds on our commitment to nurture diverse talent, and every line manager has enrolled in baby loss awareness training conducted by Tommy's, the baby loss and pregnancy charity. We are proud to have launched five new Employee Resource Groups — LGBT+, Parenting, Wellbeing and Mental Health, People of Colour, Faith and Women’s Network. Our ERGs meet monthly and help shape our policy and partnerships decisions — such as a brand new set of industry-leading UK benefits being launched across the agency this year. Grayling operates a fully flexible hybrid-work model with trailblazing benefits and this year, almost two-thirds (62%) of our agency were promoted with average pay increases of 15%, significantly above inflation. Staff can also access trained mental health first-aiders and each employee and their families have a complimentary CALM app subscription.
