Most agencies send out your story. We make sure it lands, and that it means something.
News moves fast. Search moves faster. AI answers move faster still.
The brands that win are the ones that get there first, with a clear story, the right editor relationships, and a plan built on a real understanding of how journalists, search engines and AI assistants decide who to feature.
Our work delivers outcomes you can point to, from features in Forbes, The Times and Reuters to coverage that changes how customers, investors and AI tools talk about you.

Guaranteed Publications That Build Brand Authority
Clean First. Then Publish.
First we clean your reputation.
Then we publish you.
A prospect reads your coverage and thinks “impressive.” Then they Google you — and a fake one-star review from someone who was never a customer plants doubt in seconds. So we work in the order that actually builds trust: clear the damage first, then put you in front of millions.
Clear the reviews dragging you down
We identify and challenge fake, defamatory and policy-breaching reviews — across Google Search, Maps and your Business Profile, plus Yell, Glassdoor and more — ethically, through the proper channels. No removal, no fee.

Then we earn you coverage in the media your customers already trust — titles like the BBC, Forbes and the nationals, plus your industry press — turning a clean reputation into real, lasting authority.
BBCForbesGuardianFTA clean reputation plus trusted coverage = customers who believe you before you say a word.
Handled discreetly by a senior UK PR & reputation team — ethical, evidence-led, and honest about what’s possible. We never promise to delete a genuine review; we challenge the ones that break the rules.

Three Reasons Founders Choose Guaranteed Publications.
Where other agencies sell impressions, we deliver Guaranteed Publications — real, named features in the outlets your customers, investors, and competitors already trust.
Story Angles That Land
Led by former BBC, FT, and Times editors, we craft story angles that make you newsworthy — not another press release nobody reads.
Tier-1 Only Network
Our guarantee covers BBC, Forbes, FT, Guardian, Bloomberg, Reuters, WSJ, and The Economist. No content farms, no syndication — only high-authority publications that build real credibility.
14-Day Brief to Guaranteed Placement
Most agencies need 90+ days to land a feature. We deliver your first guaranteed publication within 14 days — or you don’t pay. Speed builds authority faster.
Your Competitors Aren’t Better Than You — They’re Just Better Known.
No one can choose a brand they’ve never heard of. Every day you stay invisible, the clients and investor confidence quietly go to louder names.
PR fixes that — we put you in the outlets your market already trusts: BBC, Forbes, FT & The Guardian.
Guaranteed, in writing
When people ask AI who to trust in your industry, it repeats the names it finds in the press. Get featured — and become the answer.

A UK PR agency, based in London, trusted worldwide
Choosing between the best PR agencies in the UK can feel like guesswork. Here is how United Press works, and what sets a guaranteed-publication PR agency apart from other PR companies, PR firms and communication agencies.
Public relations agency UK businesses trust
United Press is a public relations agency in the UK that has secured editorial coverage for founders, brands and experts since 2001. From our office at Brook’s Mews in Mayfair we plan, write and place stories in national, regional, trade and international titles, with publication live within 14 days of approval.
A PR agency in London you can meet
Many PR firms in London work remotely or through freelancers. Our team is London based, so you can meet us, brief us in person and know exactly who is handling your story. See what we do for London businesses on our PR agency London page.
Comparing PR companies in the UK
When you compare PR companies and PR firms in the UK, look past the logos. Ask which titles are confirmed in writing, how long publication takes, whether coverage is earned or sponsored, and what happens if a placement does not go live. Our guide on how to choose a PR agency walks through each question.
What the best PR agencies in London share
The best PR agencies in London and across the UK share three things: a clear story, real editor relationships and accountability for results. That is why every United Press plan is bespoke, agreed in writing, and backed by a 100% refund if a placement does not go live within 14 days of approval.
A tech PR agency UK founders rely on

Everything You Need
to Know.
What are Guaranteed Publications?
Guaranteed Publications means UnitedPress.uk commits in writing to securing tier-1 publication placement — BBC, Forbes, FT, Guardian, Bloomberg — within a defined timeframe, or you don’t pay. We are the first UK agency to offer this guarantee, building real brand authority you can point to.
How does pricing work at UnitedPress.uk?
Every engagement is quoted individually after a strategy call, based on your sector, goals, and target publications. There’s a 3-month minimum engagement, with your first guaranteed publication within 14 days. Tell us your budget and target market, and we’ll build a proposal around it.
Which publications do you guarantee?
Our guarantee network covers BBC, Forbes, Financial Times, The Guardian, Bloomberg, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, City AM, and The Times — the high-authority, high-DA publications that build real brand credibility. We do not work with content farms, syndication sites, or pay-to-play outlets.
How long until my first Guaranteed Publication?
Our average time to guaranteed publication is 14 days. Your first confirmed placement typically lands within 7-14 business days of signing. If we miss this window, you don’t pay — no questions, no fine print.
Who is UnitedPress.uk for?
Our clients are typically Series-A through pre-IPO founders, established C-suite executives, family offices, and growth-stage businesses across fintech, climate tech, lifestyle, and culture. We are not the right fit for very early-stage, pre-launch consumer brands, or businesses seeking volume-based content marketing.
Do I have to be in the UK?
No. We work with clients worldwide. Roughly 40% of our clients are based outside the UK — Europe, US, MENA, and APAC. Some want UK tier-1 publications to build brand authority or enter the UK market; others want coverage in their own markets. We handle the time-zone overhead.
What does a PR agency in the UK do?
A PR agency in the UK helps businesses and individuals earn coverage in newspapers, magazines, websites and broadcast media. At United Press that means finding your story, writing it, placing it with editors and confirming the publications in writing, with placements live within 14 days of approval.
How do I choose the best PR agency in London?
Look for a London PR agency that names the publications it will target, explains the difference between earned and sponsored coverage, shows real examples and is accountable if coverage does not appear. Meeting the team in person also helps, which is why our office is in Mayfair.
Are PR firms, PR companies and PR agencies in the UK the same?
Yes, the terms are used interchangeably. PR firms, PR companies and PR agencies all manage public relations, while a communication agency may also cover internal communications, crisis communications and reputation management. United Press offers all of these.
Are you a tech PR agency for UK start-ups?
Yes. We work as a tech PR agency for UK start-ups and scale-ups in SaaS, fintech, AI and consumer technology, covering launches, funding announcements and founder profiles in titles such as TechCrunch and Business Insider.
