PR, public affairs, digital and design under one roof

What keeps us awake at night?

Reputation is hard to build and easy to lose. Whether it's a policy decision that could affect a client's business, a story that needs telling, or a campaign that isn't cutting through. The pressure to communicate clearly and effectively doesn't let up.

We think about that constantly. Our clients come to us when the stakes are high: planning applications that need community support, organisations trying to influence legislation, brands that need to land in the right places. Getting it right matters, and we don't take that lightly.

We're also watching how communications is changing — digital, data, design — and making sure our clients aren't left behind. That means staying sharp, staying curious, and always asking whether what we're doing is actually working.

We don’t preach. We practise.

Integrated by instinct
We don't silo PR from public affairs, or digital from design. Our best work happens when disciplines work together: a planning campaign that combines community engagement, media relations and design, or a policy push backed by digital consultation and political intelligence. Integration isn't a buzzword for us; it's how we operate.

Results, not reports
Our clients judge us on outcomes: column inches, planning permissions, political meetings secured, audiences reached. We keep that front of mind in everything we do. Activity for its own sake doesn't interest us.

Professional standards, genuinely upheld
Every member of the Orbit team is a member of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations, the world's only Royal Chartered body for PR professionals. That's not a box-tick. It means we hold ourselves to a professional and ethical standard that protects our clients as much as it reflects on us.

Build your muscles. Then flex them.

Orbit is a small team, which means you won't be lost in a graduate intake or waiting years for responsibility. You'll work directly with senior professionals and clients from day one, on real campaigns, with real consequences.

We work across a genuinely broad range of sectors and disciplines, from energy and property to health, education and the third sector, which means you'll build expertise fast and develop a versatile skillset that most agency careers don't offer until much later. If you want to grow, the work is here to grow with.
