89up

89up is the global agency for non-profits. We campaign for great causes, build technology, develop strategies to tackle complex problems and inspire action.

The idea for 89up came when our founder was in Belarus at the funeral of a murdered dissident and discovered that Bell Pottinger was working for the dictatorial government. Autocratic governments and corporations could buy expert comms advice: it was time for NGOs and civil society to have an agency on their side with best in class talent and cutting-edge strategies and technologies. Our Advocacy, Insights and Mobilisation team delivers data driven insights for impactful strategies to mobilise audiences; our Labs team builds innovative websites and bespoke advocacy tools to engage consumers and decision-makers; our Studio team crafts beautiful content from podcasts to animations; and our PR team makes sure our campaigns make the headlines. Our reputation has led to rapid growth. Last year we were recognised in the FT1000 list of Europe’s fastest growing companies (only 120 UK companies made the cut).
