About Bell Pottinger Group
The PR Division of Chime Communications is made up of the Bell Pottinger Group of companies. Bell Pottinger Group exists to help make our clients better known, better regarded and more successful.
We do this by using great communications to influence the opinions and behaviours of the people our clients depend on for success. And we use every modern communications channel at our disposal. Our clients come to us when they need to build great reputations, win more customers, increase sales, launch new brands and build on existing ones. Or, they ask us to help when they have to announce important results, win investor confidence, buy other businesses or prevent unwelcome takeovers. We have helped them to be better understood and supported by the people in the media who report on them. We have helped them to shape regulatory environments and lead important public debates that influence the markets they serve. We have helped them to be better corporate citizens, and be leaders in corporate responsibility initiatives. Sometimes, they ask us to campaign to change national agendas. Increasingly, they ask for our help to make employees brand advocates wherever they go. And, when necessary, they call us when they need to defend their reputations, or recover from crisis situations.
Increasingly we work with the Advertising & Marketing Services and Research & Engagement Divisions of Chime on integrated solutions for our clients' goals.
Our ethos is about results for our clients - client needs are our needs. No matter whether the client is a large multi-national or a small start-up.
