Evins SCT

What Evins SCT does

Evins Communications Ltd., operating under the Evins SCT brand, is a New York-headquartered, family-owned public relations agency founded in 1987–1988 by Mathew L. Evins. The firm specializes in luxury and premium-brand communications across food, wine and spirits, travel, lifestyle, and hospitality, serving enterprise clients that include LVMH portfolio brands (Dom Pérignon, Veuve Clicquot, Belvedere, Krug, Glenmorangie), Maker's Mark (Beam Suntory), Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, American Express Centurion, Valentino, and Hotel The Mitsui Kyoto. Louise R. Evins serves as CEO, with President Jacqueline Long (former LVMH/Moët Hennessy) and EVP David Harrison (former Edelman/Citi) rounding out senior leadership.

The agency sells integrated communications under a proprietary "PR+" methodology that bundles earned media, influencer, experiential, social, content, paid, and analytics services. It operates a "Digital Listening Technology" offering and a Data & Innovation practice, though the underlying technical components are not publicly documented. In January 2023 Evins acquired Teuwen Communications, a wine-and-spirits PR boutique, adding a West Coast presence and France (Cognac) reach; international client work also extends to Japan.

The business model is retainer- and project-based fees on premium enterprise accounts, with average disclosed client tenure exceeding 8 years and several relationships spanning 20+ years. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; with 11–50 employees and an enterprise-luxury client mix, implied annual revenue is in the $10M–$25M band on a high revenue-per-employee benchmark. The firm is privately held by the Evins family and has not raised outside capital.
