The agency was founded in 2002 with a single client – a major company who remains with us to this day. No pitch, no advertising. Growth happened through referrals and impressive results.

What started as classic, international trade press relations has evolved into a full-scale communications operation, at the heart of which is strategy, content, media connections, thought leadership, lead generation, social media and sales support.

akp is owner-managed and led by two generations of the same family, and that matters more than you might think: Decisions are made by people with skin in the game, which means long-term strategy and vision comesnaturally – an ethos reflected in our relationships with clients, some of whom have been with us for more than a decade.

How we work

We combine deep research, strategy and craft to achieve outstanding results.

One team. One brief. No friction.

Strategy, copy, design and video production, all carefully crafted under one roof. That means your messaging stays consistent from the first draft to the finished product. No briefing losses between agencies - no visuallanguage that contradicts your copy. For complex B2B topics, that coherence isn't a ‘nice-to-have‘ – it’s the difference between content that works and content that just exists.

We read your studies. And we understand them.

Most of our clients work with complex, science-backed products. Efficacy data, health claims, novel ingredients, regulatory frameworks – this is the material we work with every day. Our scientific knowledge makes ourcontent credible to editors, convincing to buyers and defensible under scrutiny.

We operate across borders.

We know your world. And we know who's listening. Our media network spans the key trade publications in food, ingredients, nutraceuticals and packaging - built over 25 years through real relationships, not distributionlists. We know what editors publish, what they ignore and how to make a story land. Whether you need coverage in a single market or a coordinated rollout across multiple countries, we can make it happen either as a lead agency or part of your existing setup.

We move at the pace demanded by your market.

Trade shows don't wait and nor do product launches. Because strategy, copy, design and video all sit in-house, we compress timelines that would take weeks in a multi-agency setup. That speed doesn't come at the cost of quality – it comes from not having to rebrief separate suppliers. When it matters, we deliver.

Andie Long

Manager Marketing & Sales, AstaReal

"As an editor, I’m often asked the question: “What do you look for in PR?” My answer is usually quite brief. Relevance. If the news or the article isn’t relevant to my readers then, no matter how well crafted it is, it’s not good PR. With akp public relations, I don’t have that issue. Professional, courteous and also great fun – the team is always approachable, well informed and both reactive and proactive. I know I can rely on them to present excellent, well researched and comprehensible copy, on time, that’s targeted towards my circulation."

Dr. Kevin Robinson

Editor at "Nutraceutical Business Review"

“In my experience working with akp Communications, the process always runs smoothly. They are efficient, understanding of deadlines and truly reliable. As an editor, I’m looking for attention to detail, and akp always delivers. On behalf of my colleagues and myself, it’s been a pleasure working with the agency over the last few years.“
