WHO
WE ARE
We manage communications campaigns for companies and schemes of national and international importance, often across complex teams of partners, stakeholders and consultants. We advise funds, developers, healthcare and education providers, local authorities, agents, architects, investment companies and housing providers on communications programmes and amplifying real estate brands.
We pride ourselves on being a new breed of agency, deliberately eschewing the traditional full-service model of fixed teams, static resource and heavy overheads. Instead we work with a select number of highly experienced specialist partners and consultants and we engineer our team to meet the project, not the other way around.
OUR
WORK
We help companies grow by connecting with their audiences and we pride ourselves on becoming an invaluable part of our clients' teams.
We help schemes attract occupiers and investment and we shine a light on the issues that affect our clients’ businesses.
We offer a full range of support including media relations, digital and social media, branding, placemaking, video production, copywriting and event organisation.
OUR
CLIENTS
We are proud to represent a wide range of property developers, agents, architects, designers and planners. Our clients include:

WHAT THE MARKET
SAYS
“Manchester's property PR business has been getting less frothy and event-focused and more strategic and news-focused over the last decade: it is now immeasurably more professional.
Inform is among those taking what was once a poorly-regarded backwater of the communications business and turning property PR into something as sharp, vital and necessary for developers and agents as the advice of their lawyers and financial intermediaries."
- David Thame, national freelance and property journalist (Bisnow; Estates Gazette; Manchester Evening News
“Having been reluctant to do PR in the past, we realized that Tritax Symmetry needed a PR strategy in place to support our company’s ambitious growth plan. Having interviewed larger PR agencies, we felt that that Inform stood out as they understood exactly what we needed and were prepared to go the extra mile to achieve that. That was three years ago.
Inform is a core part of our business; improved communications well with our funding partner, local authorities and key stakeholders to deliver our message. We wouldn’t be without them.”
- Andrew Dickman, director, db symmetry
