About Us
At Eleven Hundred Agency, storytelling is at the heart of what we do. We're committed to helping our clients bring their technology and organisations to life; to ensure they get featured on the page in a way that makes their target audiences sit up and take notice.
We believe that, if you can identify and articulate a good story, you can tell it in a variety of ways, over multiple marketing channels. That's why our client campaigns encompass top tier media relations, events, awards, social campaigns, paid media and a variety of owned content. After all, if you have something good to say, why only say it once?
Creativity and proactivity are in our DNA. We take responsibility for coming up with ideas that help our clients cut through the noise and we work as an extension of their teams to maximise results.
If you're looking to raise your profile in Europe, we're the team to get you noticed.

Our 12-strong team of experienced B2B tech PR and content writers know how to bring your story to life.
Get to know some of the team here:
Claire Ayles Co-Founder
Claire earned her PR stripes at B2B tech agency Johnson King PR, where she spent more than a decade working her way up through the ranks to become managing director in 2011. In 2014, Claire became part of the management team for the European technology practice of Finn Partners, at the time, the fastest growing independent agency in the world. Eleven Hundred Agency is chapter three in Claire's agency career. Like all other good trilogies, this third instalment is the most exciting, and she's been instrumental in growing the agency from scratch, to today representing some of the hottest tech brands in the business.
Mike King Co-Founder
Mike has been running tech PR agencies for more than 30 years. He has worked with clients ranging from global tech brands to innovative, fledgling companies, including working with many companies through IPO. Originally a technology journalist, Mike ran the London office of a small European PR group for several years before founding his own agency, Johnson King, in 1992. Johnson King grew to become one of the leading tech specialist PR agencies in Europe and in 2014 was acquired by Finn Partners. In 2018, Mike joined with Claire in launching Eleven Hundred Agency.
Michelle Edge Account Director
Michelle made the switch from corporate lawyer to PR pro in 2008, joining the PR department of New York-headquartered Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc. - one of the largest hotel companies in the world, now merged with Marriott International. Since relocating across the pond in 2011, Michelle has been working in tech PR, having joined Eleven Hundred Agency in 2018 as the agency’s number one hire. Michelle has stacks of experience working with B2B technology brands, from start-ups to established global tech companies. She enjoys leading teams who create and drive campaigns that cut through the technology jargon and connect with target audiences.
Jacqueline Booker Senior PR Consultant
Jacqui has been living the tech PR dream since 2005, when she started her career at Johnson King PR. In her decade with the company, she progressed from trainee to account director, working with a mix of innovative start-ups and global corporates. In 2015, she made the move from London to Manchester, freelancing for a number of tech PR agencies in the North-West. Jacqui joined the ranks at Eleven Hundred Agency in 2018, reuniting again with Claire and Mike to work on campaigns for some of the leading lights of the tech world.
Joyce Wady Senior PR Consultant
Joyce is a passionate storyteller. For more than 20 years, she has helped technology companies tell their stories. From public to private, start-up to Fortune 500, she's created communications programmes and content strategies that help tech companies define their brand by the value they bring to market. With roots in the US and the UK, along with client-side and agency experience, she brings a global perspective to Eleven Hundred Agency's clients.
