About us

Next Fifteen Communications Group plc owns five independent subsidiary PR brands: Text 100, Bite Communications, Inferno, OutCast and Lexis. These brands operate as autonomous businesses, which allows the Group to service competing clients. In April 2007 a sixth brand, August One, was integrated into Text 100, significantly enhancing Text 100’s capabilities in consumer public relations.  The Group also owns two research businesses, Context Analytics and Redshift Research, and has an investment in a policy communications business, 463 Communications.

Next Fifteen has 39 offices in 18 countries with a client list that includes many of the highest-profile international brands. The Group employs more than 900 people and has become one of the world's most respected PR consultancies.

The Group has achieved this level of global coverage largely through organic growth but has in recent years supplemented that with some notable acquisitions, including Applied Communications (which was merged into Bite Communications) in the US in 2003, OutCast, also in the US, in 2005, and Lexis in the UK in 2005.  In May 2007 Redshift Research was established as a further subsidiary.  The Group remains ambitious and is committed to international expansion and intends to open more offices for existing brands, with the possibility of further acquisitions where the strategic fit and value are compelling.
