PCC is a leading travel, transport, lifestyle and crisis communications consultancy based in London. Founded by Paul Charles and Julia Perowne, the PCC mission is to provide highly-personalised and innovative PR campaigns to some of the finest hotels, restaurants, tourism boards, tour operators, airlines, cruise lines and other travel brands around the world.
Our approach is to amplify the brands we work with, brands which are pioneers in their own markets. Knowing when to turn up the volume, and down, is critical in managing a reputation. Paul was Richard Branson's Communications Director at Virgin Atlantic, Eurostar's Communications Director where he launched the high-speed rail line and a BBC TV and Radio News Presenter for a decade, while Julia has launched and run hotel campaigns around the world over the last 8 years. The team includes some of the finest account servicing professionals in the industry, with over 50 years' experience between them. PCC now works with airlines, hotel groups including The Oetker Collection (which includes Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, Antibes and Le Bristol, Paris) and tourist boards including Singapore and Monaco.
