What Tigerbond does

Tigerbond is an independent UK agency delivering integrated PR, social, and digital marketing services to enterprise brands. Formed in 2021 via a management buyout of the Beattie Group, the agency operates from five UK offices — London (headquarters), Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, and Belfast — employing 51-100 staff and positioning itself around community-rooted, locally-relevant delivery at national scale. Its service offering is structured into four pillars: PR Services (media relations, press releases, crisis communications), Social Services (content strategy, community management, influencer partnerships), Digital Services (PPC, SEO, web development, analytics), and GEO Services (regional and community-relevance campaigns), supplemented by Digital PR and Crisis Communications modules.

The agency's customer base comprises major UK and international brands across retail, real estate, entertainment, hospitality, healthcare, and the nonprofit sector. Documented anchor relationships include Specsavers (since 2000), Cala Homes (since 2010), Vue Cinemas (since 2015), Tesco (since 2016), Crieff Hydro, Smiggle, MAM, Bausch & Lomb, Cotswold Outdoor, Nutribullet, Apex Hotel Group, Baylis & Harding, and Marie Curie. The 92% colleague retention rate and a roster of former national-press journalists (The Sun, Press Association, STV News, Scottish national press) are cited as central to its media-relations capability.

Tigerbond operates a professional services revenue model based on retainer and project-based fees negotiated directly with brand clients, supplemented by Worldwide Partners network membership for international scope and a 2024 partnership with Owendale Advisory for AI-related advisory services. The company is privately held under Tigerbond Group Limited (Scotland, Company Number SC248915), with no disclosed institutional investment, parent company, or external funding events.
