Performance PR start-up aims to put Sunderland on the map

A new performance PR agency has launched in the North East, having already secured £400k in client revenue.

One March was set up at the start of August by Jake Holyoak, the former Head of Outreach at Mediaworks and Digital PR Lead at Gambling.com Group. He was also digital PR Manager at Niche Website Builder. 


Despite only officially going live a couple of weeks ago, Holyoak said that they’d won clients cross 8 countries and almost £400k in income.


“We’re not just another agency trying to rack up clients (or cash!). For me, it’s about quality relationships that lead to impactful results,” he stated. 

It’s also about his home town.

“Sunderland has come a long way, and I’m proud to play a part in putting our city on the map for world-class PR campaigns. We have some awesome talent and PR businesses up here, it’s about time people know that.”

In his previous roles, he’s worked with clients including Michelin, Puma and GSK.

“Our campaigns aren’t just about visibility; they’re about making a real impact on your bottom line. The campaigns have different processes which work better across varying industries” he explained.

He’s already looking at expansion and said a senior hire “is set to join.”

“We’re excited about the future, but our priority will always be delivering great results for our clients while showcasing Sunderland as a hub for global PR.”
