a brief history...

Journalists 'doing' PR the right way.

Rhizome Media started life in 2007 as a PR agency run by two senior ex-journalists, Dominic Hiatt and Jonathan Stevens, who thought the entire PR industry was a bit of a joke.

Everywhere they looked, they saw vacuous 'Henrys' and 'Henriettas' with no real idea of how the media work, zero commercial nous and the creative ability of warm roadkill. So they decided to set out on a journey and reinvent PR.

Roughly 30 minutes after the company launched, the Global Financial Crisis struck and the journey for our two heroes looked set to be somewhat short-lived. But it wasn't. In fact, the dark days of the GFC proved to be the making of the Rhizome brand.

In those times of radical uncertainty, start-ups and SMEs loved the fact that Rhizome were happy to work with them on a no-contract basis for the first three months: this gave them the peace of mind that they weren't signing up to an agency that talked the talk but couldn't walk the walk.

To this day, and all the more so due to the Covid-19 pandemic, our willingness to commence work without a contract remains a major USP and is something, as far as we're aware, no other PR agency does.

Why? We always back ourselves to deliver and earn a company's trust through results.
