Corporate PR that protects your reputation and wins business
Updated October 2026.
Prohibition is a corporate PR and communications agency in Leeds. We manage how the company behind the brand is seen by the press, investors, partners, staff and the public, through press office, leadership profiling, issues management and LinkedIn. For Keystone Brewing Group we cut negative sentiment in its coverage from 16% to 8.7% in a year.
What is corporate PR?
Corporate PR manages the reputation of a whole organisation rather than one product. It covers media relations with business and trade titles, leadership profiling, corporate communications with staff and stakeholders, crisis communications and online reputation management. It supports your brand positioning, and it matters as much to public sector bodies as to private companies.
Who is corporate PR for?
Companies whose reputation affects how they sell, hire, raise money or win partners. That includes groups going through change such as a merger, a restructure or a new owner, professional services firms, and B2B businesses that need trust before they need awareness. It sits alongside our wider marketing work.
Can corporate PR change how the trade press sees you?
Yes, with a better story told consistently. Keystone Brewing Group was rescuing much-loved breweries from administration, but the trade press saw a private equity owner, closures and job losses. A restructure, a relocation and a leadership change all landed in the same year.
We ran its corporate press office, thought leadership and issues management. Over 12 months the group and its brands earned 501 pieces of coverage with 56.6M reach. 95% was positive or neutral, and negative sentiment fell from 16% to 8.7%.
What does a corporate PR agency do?
- Profiles the company behind the brand, its purpose and its results.
- Builds the profile of leaders and experts in the titles your market reads.
- Runs the press office for financial results, deals, appointments and news.
- Plans for issues and handles crisis communications.
- Manages LinkedIn and stakeholder content for the business.
- Supports corporate branding so the company and its brands tell one story.

Does a founder’s profile help the business?
Often more than company news does, because people trust people. For Global Brands, the drinks company behind VK and Hooch, we built an always-on press office around founder Steve Perez. It earned 88 pieces of coverage, over half in tier-one titles, with 20M circulation. Our corporate video team can put leaders on camera too.
Brands That Trust Us
Corporate PR that wins business
Reputation should show up in your pipeline. Three examples from our corporate clients:
PR helps brands select the right communication channels
Freeths
We ran a LinkedIn Live event for the law firm that helped bring justice to the subpostmasters in the Post Office case. Over 1,100 people attended and the event generated around 950 leads.
PR establishes thought leadership
Snap Finance
Snap needed authority with the retailers it wanted as partners. Every one of its 49 pieces of coverage carried its key messages, and two potential partners approached the business.
PR builds authentic relationships
EQUANS
We plan and publish EQUANS’ LinkedIn content as part of its social media. Since January 2026 it has earned 2M+ impressions, a 14% engagement rate and 9K+ new followers.
How should a company use LinkedIn?
As a newsroom for the business and a stage for its people. Corporate audiences such as buyers, investors and job seekers spend their working day there. We plan a mix of company news, leadership views and staff stories, then boost the posts that matter to the right people. Read our guide to social media for B2B and corporate companies.
How do you measure corporate PR?
Against the AMEC framework. Coverage and reach are outputs. Sentiment, share of voice and key message pick-up are out-takes. Outcomes are what changes for the business: leads, partnerships, investor interest and recruitment.
How much does corporate PR cost?
We work on a monthly retainer for an always-on press office, or a fixed fee for a project such as a results announcement, a merger or an issues plan. The cost depends on how many announcements and spokespeople you have, which audiences we cover and whether you need crisis cover. We give you a written quote after a first call.
A good fit
UK companies and groups that want PR tied to reputation, leads and partnerships, with press office, LinkedIn, video and issues planning from one team.
Probably not the right fit
If you need full-time political lobbying or regulatory investor relations, a specialist public affairs or IR firm will serve you better.

B2B Services
Why does corporate reputation matter?
Because buyers, investors, partners and job seekers check you out before they commit. A strong reputation shortens sales cycles, helps you hire and gives you credit to draw on when something goes wrong. See how we approach brand reputation management.
Our corporate PR services
Positioning, press office, leadership profiling, issues management, executive media training, LinkedIn and stakeholder communications.
Corporate positioning
Big organisations often tell lots of separate stories and lose their voice. ENGIE, which employs 17,000 people in the UK, had sustainability projects running as unconnected news. We brought them under one banner for UK audiences, backed by content and paid social. The campaign drove 155K link clicks and lifted share of voice by 2.2%.
Crisis and issues management
Reputations take years to build and a day to damage. We write issues plans and holding statements before anything happens, and handle media enquiries with you when it does. Keystone’s restructure, relocation and leadership change were all planned for, so the coverage stayed balanced. We can add video statements and search work to protect what people find. See our crisis management service.
Reputation and profile building
We put your business in the business, trade and regional titles your stakeholders read, with a steady flow of news, comment and features. That builds the trust that makes the next sale, hire or deal easier.
Executive media training
We prepare leaders for interviews, results announcements and difficult questions, using the same media training we run for organisations from businesses to universities. Read our crisis communication tips.
Thought leadership
Leaders with a clear point of view win attention. Potter Space’s managing director, Jason Rockett, needed a higher profile at a key point in the firm’s growth. We shaped his story, including his past as a professional footballer, and took it to the property press. He landed the Property Week Big Interview, 25 commentary pieces and 8 speaker slots. We also help leaders make video content that engages.
Public affairs support
When policy affects your business, we help you build the case, brief the right journalists and engage local and national stakeholders. We work alongside specialist public affairs firms where full-time lobbying is needed.

Corporate media relations
Media relations is the part of PR that deals with journalists, and for corporate clients it means business, trade and regional titles as well as broadcast. We run media relations as part of our wider PR services, and add B2B influencer marketing or influencer marketing where creators reach your audience better. Many corporate clients also need consumer PR for their brands.
Our insight-based approach
We start with research into your audiences, competitors and media, then agree targets before we pitch a single story. We are an integrated PR agency, so public relations, content marketing, social media and video work from one plan.
