Born out of Passion.
Performance Communications was born out of passion – our two Managing Directors founded Performance because they grew weary of working on stuff that didn’t ignite their shared passions.
Twenty-five years later, we are now a team of 60 proactive and down-to-earth sports, cars, bikes and tech fans, bound together by a shared love of our specialisms and a dedication to exciting audiences through bold campaigns.
Proudly Employee-Owned
In March 2024, Performance Communications transitioned to Employee Ownership in order to secure the long-term independence of the agency and provide its employees with both a greater level of involvement and a share in the business’ future success.
Joint Managing Director, Andy Francis commented on the move: “Employee welfare and voice have always been top priorities for us. The framework that an Employee Ownership Trust provides will enable us to build on these strong foundations to foster even stronger employee influence.”
One of the best places to work in the UK
Performance Communications has been named one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work in both 2025 and 2026, ranking among just 500 organisations nationwide to earn the accolade.
People have always been our most important asset and the move to employee ownership is reflected an impressive 85 per cent engagement score across key pillars such as Reward & Recognition, Empowerment and Wellbeing.
We Shape Opinion and Change Behaviour
As specialists and fans, we immerse ourselves ever more deeply within our client brands’ target audiences to unearth insights through which we build campaigns that engage fan bases and communities.
We create innovative content to generate social conversations, deliver earned media, excite audiences, shape opinions, and change behaviour.
Here Today, Here Tomorrow
Both our client relationships and team tenures are unusually long. There is no secret sauce at play, just a genuine partnership approach with teamwork and shared passion at its core, and the consistent delivery of strong results.
Thrive
Our ever-evolving Thrive programme is designed to offer best-in-class support to the team, to enable them to perform at their best both in and out of work.

Globally Connected
We’re not just plugged into UK fan communities.
In addition to our office in Kingston, Performance Communications has been active across the Middle East and Africa since 2008, including a second office in Dubai for much of this time. Our Middle East alumni and partners are now spread across the region and ready to extend our reach there.
In addition, Performance Communications has developed a network of 10 like-minded, partner agencies plus a team of international freelancers, extending our reach across Europe, USA, and the Far East.
This network, developed in response to client demand and nurtured over the past twenty-five years, enables us regularly to call upon our partner agencies both to gather local market insights and to activate campaigns beyond our ‘core’ territories.
