Seven-Communications GFE

What Seven-Communications GFE does

Seven Communications is a London-based integrated creative and public relations agency founded in 2013 by Caroline Wray and Serge Vaezi. Operating under a self-described "BIGTIQUE" model that combines the capabilities of a creative agency with those of a PR agency, the firm delivers brand strategy, creative development, media relations, influencer and social media management, design, and production services to clients across consumer, B2B, and corporate reputation categories. Its client base includes recognisable brands such as KFC, Range Rover, Bushmills, Evian, Mars Petcare, Fortnum & Mason, YuMOVE, Plum Guide, DataCamp, and Strong Roots, alongside nonprofits and government clients including Girlguiding, The Forward Trust, and Barbados Tourism.

The agency's core intellectual property is its proprietary CQ (Cultural Intelligence) Model, a methodology refined over 20+ years that combines a CQ Narrative framework for brand positioning with a Disrupt Framework grounded in behavioural science. This methodology has been codified into a publicly accessible AI tool called OSCAR AI (oscar.seven-communications.com), which assesses a brand's cultural intelligence. The agency has been awarded or commended 25 times between 2020 and 2026 across PR Week, The Drum, PrMoment, and Creative Moment, and reports campaign outcomes including 42M+ adult reach for YuMOVE, 300M+ reach for the Joint Effort activation, 118M+ reach for Plum Guide's Tate Modern projection, and an 80% year-on-year sales uplift for Strong Roots following the Meatpatch campaign.

Seven Communications generates revenue through professional-services engagements on a project and retainer basis, with no public pricing. Distribution is direct and senior-led, with prospective clients engaging through the website, a "Seven Week Challenge" onboarding mechanism, and consultative pitches. The firm is privately held, founder-led, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent company. It operates from its London Soho headquarters at 58 Old Compton Street, with a registered office in Harrow, Middlesex.
