Essential Communications is
an integrated public relations and marketing agency that works closely with its
clients to achieve their individual goals. We focus on the travel retail/duty
free industry - it's a business we know inside out – and we’re regularly
recommended by our clients and media alike.
Based in the UK, we provide a range of media and marketing services to an
exciting portfolio of clients, ranging from family businesses to multinational
corporations.
We strive to raise the profile of the companies we represent in the
international travel retail media, to promote and build their brands, publicise
their product developments, and in so doing assist them to maximise favourable
exposure and, ultimately, increase sales.
Our experienced team brings together expertise in marketing, press relations,
journalism and events management, enabling us to offer a wide-ranging portfolio
of services and consultancy – all at prices which won’t break the bank.
In May 2023, Essential Communications became part of the international Bluedog Group, a series of robust specialist agencies operating an intergrated approach for many prestigious global brands.

Kounter - delivering retail and travel retail airport campaigns worldwide.
doplr - long established live events brand ensuring perfect operation of conferences, awards ceremonies, fashion shows and live brand experience pop ups.

Essential Communications
clients cover a variety of product sectors within the travel retail industry
including fashion and accessories, wines and spirits, confectionery and fine
food, tobacco goods, jewellery and beauty products, gifts and toys.
Many of these clients have public relations departments or contract agencies
which handle general PR for the company but which overlook the niche global
travel retail area. This is where we come in!
While travel retail/duty free is our core business, we are increasingly being asked to widen our scope to include general category trade PR and consumer PR - including digital marketing and social media. This is a growing part of our business and one which we embrace whole-heartedly. So if your remit is wider than Travel Retail…no problem!
