Ten years. That’s how long Big Top has been in business! It feels like yesterday and decades ago at the same time.
We haven’t always been Big Top; for the first 18 months we were Circus but rebranded when we found out there was a Circus London operating on our turf! Betty the elephant – our wonderful logo – has remained at the helm throughout. Fun fact – Betty is named in honour of our founder Charlie’s gran. They share Elizabeth as a middle name – as does her niece Harriett.
When setting up Big Top, Charlie already had 20 years of experience in PR – specifically working for local and global exhibition, conference and award organisers – and over the last 10 years, we have built on those foundations to become THE go-to PR agency for the events industry.
We love working in events because – well, we know the industry inside out, for a start, and to get great results, you need to understand the minutiae. Plus, we get to work in so many amazing sectors – business and leisure travel, MICE, retail, brand licensing, science and technology, safety and security, charity, sustainability, manufacturing, food, and many more.
Of course, we have some amazing non-events clients, too – so sending love to Retail Trust, Devolver Digital, CTM and SilverDoor!
