packfleet
Delivering better experiences
BRIEF
Shout about Packfleet, the London-based delivery disruptor, and its rapid growth in the media. Raise the profile of CEO and co-founder Tristan Thomas. Drive recruitment, generate new customers and attract future investment in the startup.
APPROACH
Call out competitors’ bad behaviour operating in a broken market, highlighting the benefits of treating all employees fairly, and using cleaner transport methods for delivering goods. Showcase Tristan’s founder story, drawing on his experience at successful startups and working with business press to land in-depth profile pieces.
Pitch the business’s Series A fundraise exclusively to trusted contacts with carefully-considered messaging to control the narrative. Use Packfleet’s compelling brand values to secure impactful coverage across national and trade media.
