We are an agile team of high-touch communications consultants based in London and New York, led by founder Elizabeth Machin with her extensive knowledge and commitment to excellence.

Coming from diverse backgrounds in PR and publishing, we specialise in media relations, brand strategy, experiential campaigns and content curation for an international roster of clients. Our approach is considered yet dynamic and always bespoke. ‘Press, people, pairings and parties’ is how the PR world is sometimes described, but we believe that what really matters is a philosophy of integrity and dedication to achieve meaningful growth, impactful engagement and authentic relationships.

We are incredibly proud to represent an inspiring range of individuals and companies, from leading interior decorators and heritage design houses to emerging studios and makers. As custodians, we present these names with integrity and clarity. As disruptors, we help to empower our clients to move beyond traditional boundaries and forge new and unexpected connections. Together we strive to achieve exceptional results with gravitas, grace, style and above all, joy.

Founder and director Elizabeth Machin is hugely respected in the interior design and lifestyle world, earning widespread recognition and acclaim for her work.  Her creative and pragmatic approach stems from studying both The History of Art and Business, working in PR and marketing for historic estates and design houses before setting up her own agency. She has an unparalleled network of media and industry contacts, many of whom are now friends.

Rose Washbourn came to Elizabeth Machin from House & Garden, where she was a writer and editor, having previously worked at Tatler and Vanity Fair. Rose studied at the University of Cambridge and King’s College London (where she completed an MA in association with the National Gallery) and has long been interested in the effect that beautiful surroundings and objects have on our lives.

Sally Swadling began her career at Estée Lauder Companies before moving into travel and leading the PR for Quintessentially Communications’ lifestyle division. Sally went on to spend over a decade at Firmdale Hotels as head of PR, working with co-founder and creative director Kit Kemp to build her profile and showcase her distinctive approach to hotel design.

Tim Monaghan is our dedicated New York-based consultant. This valuable extension of the team enables our clients to initiate and retain a strategic presence in the US market, develop relationships with editors, network within the industry and forge fruitful new partnerships.
