What BLACK CHERRY COMMS LIMITED does

Black Cherry Comms is a UK-based communications consultancy and full-service creative agency headquartered in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. The company offers three integrated service lines — internal communications contracting (change, people, and employer branding), external communications contracting (marketing, brand, and events), and a creative agency covering graphic design, branding, corporate identity, photography, and BAFTA/EMMY award-winning film production. Its stated positioning is a 'one perfectly formed team' delivering strategy, storytelling, and creative under a single roof to avoid the coordination overhead of multi-agency models. The firm employs 1–10 people, with a named expert team spanning communications strategy, design, documentary film, and brand photography.

The business operates as a professional services consultancy on project-based and retainer contracting arrangements, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is direct B2B sales supplemented by referral, supported by an 'Insights' content marketing blog, LinkedIn paid advertising, and organic social presence on Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. Named enterprise clients include Bidfood and Brakes (foodservice/wholesale) and Apple TV (media). Target segments are organisations undergoing change and FTSE 100 / large corporates with complex multi-disciplinary communications needs.

The company owns no proprietary technology platform. Its only disclosed technology footprint is experimental use of the third-party HayGen AI tool to generate avatar-based talking-head videos for fast-turnaround internal training and corporate content, with transparency about AI usage required. Ownership appears founder-operated (centred on Jenny Masters as primary contact), with no external investors, parent company, subsidiaries, or public listing indicators in the available source material.
