We are Deacon Communications, an independent music and entertainment publicity agency based in London.
With over 20 year’s experience, we pride ourselves on our versatility and the vibrancy with which we approach our work.
Our Philosophy
We are privileged to work with the most respected artists, record companies, promoters and entertainment businesses in the industry.
Our client relationships are always built on meaningful collaboration, and the core values of transparency and trust.
We do not see the work we do as something we do for our clients, but rather as work we do with them.
Their success is our success. Our success is their success.
We are a small and tight team and that’s because we have never wanted to be the biggest: just the best. Traditional communications have had a shake-up in the same way all modern media has, and we believe that PR – real and tangible PR – will continue to be the most powerful tool in cutting through the noise.

Our Approach
We are an ideas agency; we think like the media and work with the media to create engaging campaigns that yield results. The need for high impact PR has never been more important; in a world of a billion voices, we cut through the noise to set the narrative for our partners.
In built into our DNA is our desire to tell stories; we visualise campaigns into headlines, call to actions, with clear and tangible goals.
