Joe Public is an FMCG PR agency helping food, drink, retail and consumer brands win with the people who matter most to their commercial success: buyers, retailers and shoppers.

We connect trade and B2B PR, consumer PR, shopper influence, social and influencer marketing, and corporate reputation.

This means we can help brands build credibility with the customers who decide what gets stocked, while creating the relevance and demand that makes shoppers look for them, choose them and come back.

Our Work

Whitworth Bros

Whitworth Bros is the UK’s largest flour miller. Its flour is part of millions of everyday meals, yet outside its immediate customer and supplier network, few people know the business behind it. This case study shows how Joe Public built the brand’s profile with customers, farmers and the wider food industry through Rooted in Soil, its sustainability programme.

Key stats

FMCG PR Agency FAQs

An FMCG PR agency helps food, drink and FMCG brands get chosen, not just noticed. That means building the media relationships, shopper campaigns and retailer trust that turn visibility into sales.

 

FMCG stands for fast-moving consumer goods, the everyday products people buy regularly, from food and drink to household and personal care items.

FMCG moves fast. Products launch often, shelf space is competitive, and the audience that matters most is the shopper standing in front of the product, deciding in seconds. Joe Public is built around that moment specifically, at the shelf, in the aisle and in everyday life.

Yes. Our Shopper PR and Customer-Focused PR services both work with brands and the retailers they sell through.
