Lancaster-based Rosebank PR & Communications has been named as one of the top 50 independent comms practices in the UK. 

The company was listed as a member of the Independent Impact 50, a national awards scheme recognising 50 of "the most innovative and influential independent PR practitioners who are shaping the future of communication".

Founded by Bob Hart, Rosebank PR & Communications supports a wide variety of organisations nationwide, including public sector bodies, charities, and businesses.

Bob said: ”Since becoming an independent practitioner in 2020, I’ve had a chance to work on so many interesting projects and campaigns with fantastic clients up and down the country.

“I'm really proud of this recognition for lots of reasons, but particularly because it comes from a judging panel made up of major figures from across the comms & PR sectors - it's great to see the independent sector celebrated like this.”

Winners gathered for a celebration event at London’s Globe Theatre on May 1.

Bob said: “It was very enjoyable to attend the Independent Impact 50 announcement and get to know more of the brilliant people working independently in the industry.”

The Independent Impact 50 was created by Rod Cartwright, principal of Rod Cartwright Consulting, and Nigel Sarbutts, founder of freelance PR matchmaking platform The PR Cavalry.

They said: “The Independent Impact 50 is a celebration of outstanding practice for clients and the disproportionate commitment, contribution and impact of the winners on the PR community more widely.

“We want to change the narrative that you only matter in PR because you work somewhere important or noteworthy. Freelancers confront and confound that idea completely.

“They have made it their choice to do it their own way. to be captain of their own little ship and to embrace the fear that entails.

“The independent practitioners listed accept that challenge and then go further. They lift others up, they contribute to professional standards and they help chip away at the prejudices which bedevil the PR world.”

The Independent Impact 50 is backed by the Public Relations and Communications Association (PRCA), the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR), PRovoke Media and PR agency 72Point.

Prior to launching Rosebank PR & Communications, Bob worked in journalism and in-house in marketing and comms roles in the higher education sector.
