Honest London is a social media and crisis PR agency built for reputation, not noise
Honest London works with brands, founders, and public figures who understand that visibility comes with consequence. We specialise in social media strategy, reputation management, and crisis PR for clients who need to grow without damaging credibility.
Social media is no longer just a marketing channel. It is a public record of judgement. Every post, response, and moment of silence shapes perception far beyond likes and follower counts. Our role is to help clients navigate that reality with clarity, restraint, and purpose.
We do not promise virality. We do not sell shortcuts. We build strategies that stand up to scrutiny, pressure, and time.
A judgement-led approach to social media and reputation
No one can predict social media success in 2026. Platforms change constantly, audiences are fragmented, and attention is selective. What can be controlled is decision making.
At Honest London, every strategy is built around three questions:
Who is watching?
What is at stake?
What happens next?
We approach social media as a reputational surface, not a content treadmill. That means balancing growth with restraint, engagement with credibility, and visibility with long-term brand trust.
Our work is designed to reduce risk as much as it builds reach.
Social media strategies shaped by how platforms actually behave
We develop platform-specific strategies across Instagram, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, Bluesky, and emerging channels, based on how audiences and algorithms actually behave rather than how agencies wish they behaved.
Our work focuses on:
• Clear positioning and narrative
• Sustainable organic growth
• Audience quality over follower volume
• Judgement around timing, tone, and silence
• Content that supports credibility, not just engagement
We do not rely on fake followers, engagement pods, or inflated metrics. Growth that undermines trust is not growth.
Transparent pricing, no inflated retainers
We operate on transparent, flat pricing because reputation work requires trust.
Every client pays the same clear rate, often less than the cost of a full-time employee. There are no hidden fees, no inflated retainers, and no junior handovers. Clients work directly with experienced professionals who understand the stakes involved.
Our focus is not volume. It is responsibility.
Strategic partnerships, without losing control
For larger or specialist projects, we work in partnership with Castle Agency, an established marketing and communications firm. This allows us to scale delivery when required while maintaining Honest London’s strategic oversight, discretion, and direct client relationship.
Clients are never passed around. Strategy remains centralised, accountable, and clear.
Crisis PR with strategy, not panic
Crisis PR is not about reacting loudly or quickly. It is about control, proportion, and timing.
We support clients facing media scrutiny, online backlash, reputational threats, and sensitive situations where visibility must be handled carefully. Our approach prioritises containment, clarity, and long-term outcomes rather than performative responses or public escalation.
Much of our most effective work never becomes public. That is usually the point.
A trusted voice in media, education, and business
Honest London is regularly consulted by broadcasters, journalists, universities, business events, and industry panels for insight on social media, reputation management, and crisis response.
Our perspective is informed by real cases and lived experience, not theory. We understand how public scrutiny develops, how online narratives escalate, and how reputational damage is most effectively limited.
