Our Story

The origins of brookscomm and how it has evolved

brookscomm has been in in business since 1995 and was founded by Mandy and Chaz Brooks. The business was one of the first specialist technology PR and marketing agencies in Europe and continues to provide a wide range of successful PR and marketing services to many UK and international companies..

At brookscomm, our services are constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of our clients but our proven recipe for success remains the same.

Our creativity, integrity, proactivity, and professionalism, together with delivery of measurable results have won us respect from clients, journalists, and key influencers alike.

brookscomm was the first agency in Surrey with a chartered PR practitioner on the team and is a proud member of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) and of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM).

The agency quickly established a reputation for achieving high quality results for its customers enabling them to grow their businesses

The founders had a vision to provide dynamic and adaptable services to fast growth tech and innovation businesses by building great relationships with key media and influencers, attracting the best PR and Marketing talent by offering flexible working opportunities and a learning and development focus.

In the early 2000s, brookscomm was already an award-winning agency with team members working successfully from the US and Italy.

Early clients included The Surrey Research Park, Belkin, Dane Elec and Netstore.

More recent clients include Amazon, Meaco, Blink - who grew quickly and sold to Amazon for $90m within three years, and the Chartered Association of Business Schools, for which brookscomm ran a successful £1m campaign, backed by the Department for Business, supporting business leaders to survive and thrive beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

You can read more about our work with Blink, Meaco and Belkin and hear what journalists and clients love about working with brookscomm. We look forward to working with you!

Today at brookscomm, Mandy Brooks still leads the agency. The business has evolved over the years as technology and the needs of clients have developed, however Mandy and the team are still committed to the original agency values.

We are winners of the London and South-East “Best of Business” award for Best Commitment to Learning and we were awarded a special commendation for commitment to flexible working by Investors in People. We are a B Lab company and looking to achieve B Corp accreditation.
