About

Here Be Dragons is an award winning creative communications agency.

We believe that one thing is certain - change is constant, but with that change comes the unknown and great opportunities. As a creative communications agency, we are best placed to help brands navigate change and discover brave new lands. Be it creative ideas, campaigns, products or services, we always move forward, never standing still.

While focussed on the discipline of PR, we believe in a modern definition of this term, focussing on creating bold work that drives conversation and WOM across earned media and social. To do that we use a broad range of disciplines which form the base of our service offering to clients
