An ethical agency specialising in PR and communications is celebrating its ISO accreditation after just three months in business. 

Lizzie McManus, Founder of Warrior Agency, applied for the internationally recognised accreditation shortly after launching in March.

She said: “As an ethical agency, it’s no good just talking the talk, we have to walk the walk too.

“The two ISOs we’ve achieved – ISO 9001 and the ISO 14001 – ensure we are delivering and maintaining the best standards of service possible for our staff, our clients, and for the environment.” 

As well as offering the usual PR, social media, and influencer services, Warrior also provides green audits and a green consultancy service to businesses.

It is said to be the first agency in the UK to do so.

Since its launch, Warrior has already been instructed by three companies to aid them to become more sustainable. 

Lizzie, pictured left, said: “What’s been really encouraging has been seeing the diversity.

“We’ve had property developers, care homes, events companies, hotels and building contractors all get in touch with us to see if we can help them become greener.

“It’s wonderful that so many businesses are seeing this as an area to work on and improve.” 

Aside from the green audits, business is booming for the fledgling agency which has already worked with 15 clients on their PR and social media in the last quarter.

It includes a project which sees Warrior heading up the UK PR for the Race to Zero campaign, encouraging businesses around the world to pledge to reduce their carbon by 50 per cent by 2030.  

“I’ve been overwhelmed by so many wonderful organisations connecting with Warrior and asking for our support with their various missions and enterprises,” said Lizzie.

“It meant there was very quickly too much for me to do myself.

“I’m over the moon to say that Abi Constantine joined Warrior in June, making us an official tribe now! 

 “As a creative agency, it’s important we have a space to create those ideas and campaigns in.

“So we moved into offices on Southbourne high street which we love.

“I think it’s so important to be part of a community, whether that’s at work, home or both, and it feels like both here.”
