Nestled in a niche of retail and youth culture-based experience, the agency has become known for its uniquely out-of-the-box approach to partnerships and strategic execution. Lending accurate, actionable retail insights and trend forecasting services to brands and organisations, of all scale and scope, has attracted clients across a broad spectrum of categories.
“We’ve always had big dreams for the PR side of our business; being able to take our ideas and approaches to brands beyond the fashion industry. Emma and I are incredibly proud of what our team has achieved, especially given the added challenges thrown at us since the Pandemic,” says Public Library Co-Founder and Managing Director, Dan Gosling.
“…I am immensely proud of the work ethic and energy of the team and of course, the calibre of work that is produced from such a tight team.”
Public Library PR Director, Imogen O’Neill adds: “It is incredibly exciting and fulfilling to see all the hard work of the last couple of years, pay off. The business is in an exciting phase of growth, which is a testament to the team we’ve built as well as the passion and drive we all share for both our clients, and Public Library as a whole.
“Our unique culture, problem-solving approaches and strong work ethic has allowed our team to attract this calibre of clientele. I am exceedingly proud of our team and very thankful to be able to work alongside a group of people that have the smarts and vision to achieve our lofty goals.”
To support the growth, the team welcomes Sukaina Arini into the fold who will be taking on the hybrid role of Showroom Manager and PR Executive.
