Editorial Reach That Moves Markets
Three Reasons We Are the UK’s Top Editorial-Led PR Agency.
Where traditional agencies offer impressions, we deliver guaranteed placements. Where they sell “reach,” we secure named features in the publications your clients, investors, and prospects actually read.
Newsroom-First Pitching
Our team includes former editors from BBC, FT, and The Times. We pitch the way editors actually want to be pitched — with story angles, not press releases.
Tier-1 Only Network
Our guarantee covers BBC, Forbes, FT, Guardian, Bloomberg, Reuters, WSJ, and Economist. No content farms, no syndication-only outlets — only publications that move opinion.
14-Day Brief to Guaranteed Placement
Most agencies need 90+ days to land a feature. We deliver first confirmed placement within 14 days — or we refund the retainer in full. Speed is our competitive advantage.

Everything You Need
to Know.
What is guaranteed PR coverage?
Guaranteed PR coverage means UnitedPress.uk commits in writing to securing tier-1 publication placement (BBC, Forbes, FT, Guardian, Bloomberg) within a defined timeframe, or refunds the retainer in full. We are the first UK PR agency to offer this guarantee.
How much does UnitedPress.uk charge?
Our retainers start at £4,500 per month for a 3-month minimum engagement. Each retainer includes guaranteed first placement within 14 days. Larger campaigns and reputation-management projects are quoted bespoke after a strategy call.
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. We do not work with content farms, syndication sites, or pay-to-play outlets.
How long does a placement take?
Our average time to guaranteed placement is 14 days. First confirmed placement typically lands within 7-14 business days of contract signing. If we miss this window, the retainer is refunded in full — no questions, no clawback, 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 sectors. We are not the right fit for sub-£1M ARR startups, pre-launch consumer brands, or businesses seeking volume-based content marketing.
Do I have to be in London or the UK?
No. Roughly 40% of our clients are based outside the UK — Europe, US, MENA, and APAC — but seek UK tier-1 coverage to build credibility, attract British investors, or expand into the UK market. We handle the time-zone overhead.
