# Rostrum Agency > Creative strategic communications agency for financial and professional services brands. PR, content, social and design built for the AI search age — where earned media, original research and authoritative content shape what LLMs and search engines say about a brand. Rostrum was founded in 2004 by Mark Houlding and is headquartered in central London (10 Stukeley Street, WC2B 5LQ). The agency serves clients in the United Kingdom, United States and Middle East across financial services, professional services and B2B sectors. ## What Rostrum does - [PR](https://rostrum.agency/services/pr/): PR campaigns and strategy, crisis management, influencer marketing, newsjacking, international PR, media outreach, research and whitepapers, thought leadership. - [Content](https://rostrum.agency/services/content/): content strategy, copywriting, SEO, AIO/GEO, web copy, advertising, product marketing, case studies, podcasts, tone of voice, messaging, video. - [Social](https://rostrum.agency/services/social/): social strategy, organic and paid social, social listening, community activation, personal branding, social auditing, competitor analysis. - [Design](https://rostrum.agency/services/design/): brand strategy, interactive design, print and PDF, data visualisation, infographics, event design, social assets, slide decks, animation, art direction, branding. ## Positioning Rostrum's thesis is that **PR moves to the centre of AI search**: as discovery shifts from blue links to LLM answers, the brands that win are the ones with the most authoritative third-party signals — earned media, original research, expert commentary — which is exactly what PR has always produced. Generative engine optimisation (GEO) and answer engine optimisation (AEO) follow the same playbook as PR has for two decades. ## Pages - [Home](https://rostrum.agency/) - [About us](https://rostrum.agency/about-us/) - [Our team](https://rostrum.agency/our-team/) - [Our services](https://rostrum.agency/our-services/) - [Our work (case studies)](https://rostrum.agency/our-work/) - [Our insights (articles)](https://rostrum.agency/our-insights/) - [Insights RSS feed](https://rostrum.agency/feed.xml) - [Work with us (careers)](https://rostrum.agency/work-with-us/) - [Contact us](https://rostrum.agency/contact-us/) ## Case studies - [Masterplan in motion — Novuna](https://rostrum.agency/case-studies/novuna/): PR and brand work for a major financial services group. - [Embracing Different, and owning it — Saffron for Intermediaries](https://rostrum.agency/case-studies/saffron-for-intermediaries/): integrated comms for a building society's intermediary mortgage brand. - [The Bank of Mum and Dad — Legal & General](https://rostrum.agency/case-studies/the-bank-of-mum-and-dad/): landmark research-led PR campaign for L&G. ## Contact - New business: hello@rostrum.agency - Press: press@rostrum.agency - Careers: careers@rostrum.agency - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rostrum-communications/ ## Sitemap The canonical machine-readable map of the site lives at https://rostrum.agency/sitemap.xml.
