R. Agency (previously Rebecca Abigail PR) has joined forces with Flight Story, a marketing consultancy founded by entrepreneur, Dragon’s Den star and co-founder of Social Chain, Steven Bartlett (pictured right), and former Managing Director of Social Chain, Oliver Yonchev, to broaden the offering of Flight Story.

R. Agency was set up by Rebecca Ridge (pictured left) in 2013 with Tinder as a founding client. The agency’s roster includes brands such as Joby, Hinge, ClassPass, Calm and What3Words. R. Agency is the first partner to join Flight Story which provides fast-growing and public companies with the people, process and technology they need to build a resilient retail investor community around their story.

Steven Bartlett comments: “After working with more than 10 PR agencies around the world, I could not find a better partner than R Agency. They are the very best. PR and communications is a crucial part of the Flight Story offering and finding the right people with a shared vision was paramount. Rebecca and team bring that. We’re delighted to welcome R. Agency into the Flight Story family and look forward to achieving great things together.”
