Smarter Working 2014: Campbell Brown PR

Name: Campbell Brown PR
Based: Barry
Website: wearecampbellbrown.com

Flexible and remote working may conjure up images of coffee-stained pyjamas, but flexibility is not just encouraged at Campbell Brown PR, it’s embedded in our culture. We prefer stylish breakfasts to serviced offices and lunchtime swims to soggy sandwiches. Over the last 12 months we have, between us, worked from London, Liverpool, Oxford, Hay-on-Wye and Kent as well as various parts of Scotland, Ireland and Wales. It is a strength that has led us to happily work for clients in Budapest, win pitches via Skype and really benefit from new networks such as Huckletree, Kindred HQ and Trouble Club.

We are rarely ‘out of the office’ as we have no office - we are connected but flexible, we understand entrepreneurs and like-minded creatives gravitate towards us, precisely because we are not working in a clock-watching way. We can save money and extend our reach by working where we want, when we want.

We have memberships of shared spaces that make us feel alive. We have the best software and hardware, fantastic remote IT, HR and accountancy advice from people who understand that we are a new feisty breed of PRs who win pitches, get nominated for awards and keep our costs superbly low. Each member saves an average of a day a week by not travelling.

Helen Campbell is director of Campbell Brown PR
