What Halpern does

Halpern is a London-based PR and communications agency founded in 1993 by Jenny Halpern Prince MBE, operating as Halpern Limited (a private limited company registered in England and Wales). The firm serves consumer brands, lifestyle companies and charities with traditional PR services including brand campaigns, media relations, influencer marketing, experiential activations and purpose-driven social campaigns. Its publicly disclosed enterprise client roster spans Google, Dove, Jack Daniels, Co-op, Five Guys, E45, Din Tai Fung, Vitabiotics, IL MAKIAGE, Trinny, Headspace, Hydrow and others, with case studies spanning food and beverage, beauty, retail, technology, wellness, fitness and travel verticals. The agency runs a sales-led B2B model with direct enterprise engagement, quote-based pricing and a hybrid 60/40 office/remote working policy for its team of approximately 30 staff based in Fitzrovia, London.

Halpern's product surface comprises three components: (1) the core PR and Communications Services offering; (2) H+, a proprietary Digital Communications division that bridges earned media and digital channels through influencer marketing, content strategy, SEO, affiliate programmes and paid media — built in partnership with m/Six and The&Partnership rather than as wholly owned technology; and (3) the Halpern Hotlist, a monthly curated newsletter featuring cultural recommendations and notable personalities that functions as a top-of-funnel content marketing asset. The firm generates revenue from professional services fees on retained and project-based engagements; no pricing, revenue figures or public financial disclosures are available.

The agency is differentiated by a heavy emphasis on purpose-led work, anchored by the Lady Garden Foundation (a national women's health charity founded by the CEO in 2014), an ongoing partnership with Access Aspiration supporting 280,000 children since 2008, and a clinical partnership with the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust. Talent development is treated as a strategic asset, with permanent staff receiving executive coaching and in-house JFDI training. The firm has no external funding, no disclosed subsidiaries, and no M&A or geographic expansion activity in the source material.
