Richmond & Towers (R&T), a leading PR and social agency, has been appointed by two major new clients – Rustlers and Peter’s Yard.
These significant wins further cement R&T’s reputation as a powerhouse in strategic brand communications and food and drink PR and mark another year of rapid growth for the 100% employee-owned, B Corp certified agency.
Rustlers has enlisted R&T to help boost brand awareness and consideration through creative campaigns that shake up perceptions and encourage trial. R&T’s remit will include PR, social media, influencer marketing and experiential activations – including high-impact events to tap into key calendar moments and wider brand campaigns.
Rebecca Simpkin, Senior Brand Manager at Rustlers UK, says:


Meanwhile, Peter’s Yard – part of the Lotus Bakeries Group – has chosen R&T to help cement the brand as the nation’s go-to for premium sourdough crackers and crispbreads by driving visibility during the all-important Easter sales period. The project will include a combination of product placement, media gifting and high-impact profile opportunities – all designed to amplify the brand’s ‘It all rests on a great cracker’ campaign.
