Smarts
Founded in Holywood, Co. Down in 1990, Smarts has grown from a local Northern Irish PR agency into a global PR and creative agency. Over the past 12 months, we’ve grown revenue by 26%; retained 100% of our clients and won six new ones; spent almost £300,000 on external staff training and development; devoted £500,000 of staff time to community initiatives across the UK; produced one of the government’s most successful digital campaigns; brought a creator-focused approach to influencer marketing, and expanded our presence in Europe with a new Amsterdam office.
