SPOKE, the Australian media, public relations, and investor relations agency, has officially inaugurated its London office, spearheaded by Georgina Heaume, who previously held the position of head of communications at Dropbox. With over 18 years of extensive international communications experience, Heaume has collaborated with globally recognized brands including Meta and Microsoft. The selection of London as the site for this expansion is significant; Heaume describes the city as a "hive of financial and capital markets activity", making it an ideal strategic hub for the new operations of SPOKE.
“Home to the London Stock Exchange and some of the world’s largest investment funds and brokers, the city is an energetic hub for founders, startups and scaleups,” Heaume stated, emphasizing the opportunities for finance, technology, and energy companies looking to attract capital and investor interest. This perspective highlights a growing recognition amongst industry leaders that London remains a vital locus for innovation and investment.
SPOKE London is designed with a flexible partnership model aimed at companies with a growth-oriented mindset. The agency offers a range of integrated PR and strategic communications services, which include media and investor analyst relations, video and content creation, as well as crisis communications. “With Georgina at the helm, we are well placed to deliver communication strategies and investor relations services that are commercially sharp and outcome driven,” remarked Luke Derbyshire, managing director and co-founder of SPOKE.
An important strategic component of SPOKE London’s operations is its focus on bridging networks between the UK, Europe, and Asia. Derbyshire indicated there is strong demand from Asian companies for access to commercial opportunities within Europe, signalling the increasingly interconnected nature of global markets. Conversely, the agency will also focus on assisting UK-based companies in their efforts to expand into Asia, aiming to foster meaningful partnerships across the region. This dual approach is aimed at enhancing strategic access and visibility for clients, positioning SPOKE London as a vital player in the evolving landscape of international business communications.
Since its establishment in 2014, SPOKE has successfully partnered with over 170 clients spanning multiple critical industries, including finance and technology. Headquartered in Australia, the agency has built a robust presence nationally and is continuing to expand its international footprint. The London launch exemplifies SPOKE’s ambition to not only grow its client base but also enhance its capabilities by incorporating diverse perspectives and best practices from its established networks across Asia and beyond. As the company moves forward, its blend of local knowledge and global expertise will likely play a significant role in its success within the competitive UK market.
Through these developments, SPOKE is positioning itself as a trusted partner for companies keen to elevate their communication strategies and navigate the complexities of the modern business environment.
