Knights Media & Public Relations (Knights MPR), a leading global advisory public relations and communications agency, has welcomed Alix Valenti to its global team of experts.

The latest appointment reflects Knights MPR’s ambition to increase its impact for the benefit of clients, business, society and the environment, and follows the recent announcement of Graham Buckley who joined the team earlier in 2020.

Knights MPR founder and Managing Director Jason Knights, says: “I am delighted that Alix has joined our business. Collectively we want to do things a little bit differently at Knights MPR, and to create a business model that has transparency, accountability and creativity at its core. We understand how a communications-led approach can transform a business and what moves people – from business owners, employees, and customers, to suppliers, industry representatives and government.”

“Alix’s career and track record demonstrates not only her exceptional technical ability, industry knowledge and reputation, but also her passionate desire to advance the growth of value-added communications for business.”

“Communications is essential for a company’s growth plans. That is why we are taking steps to ensure we provide tailored communications advice to companies that help them to grow and thrive. We empower confidence for companies to think differently on how communications can help to articulate and solve their business and market perceptions in new ways to deliver long-term value.”

The fast-growing agency with international horizons – and which specialises in advisory communications and public relations for clients across the energy, shipping, technology and engineering sectors – has seen increased demand for its services from global brands including one of the world’s largest energy companies – Total.

“It is an exciting time of opportunity for industry and for us in the specialist area of communications,” says Knights. “Significant effort is being focused on the offshore and onshore energy and shipping industries to help companies seek out better communication activities to realise improved ROI and market engagement. With so many advances in technology, and potential changes in future worldwide geo-politics, we are committed to ensuring the companies we work with stay at the forefront of this transformation for the benefit of their consumers and governments’ agenda.

Knights MPR is head-quartered in Truro, Cornwall, UK, and has global reach across the U.S., Europe and the Middle East, through to China, Australia and New Zealand.
