• hanton&co. founder Pauline Hanton

hello

hanton&co. is a boutique, independent communications agency designed to bring the best parts of a big agency in the form of a tight knit team of specialists.

We’ve been around for a few years now, previously as Poppy Media, however we decided we’d grown up a bit and our business had evolved, therefore time to change. We came up with all sorts of names but then decided to keep it simple, a philosophy that reflects both our business values and our approach to our clients business – ‘simple, professional, insightful, results-driven, IP fuelled and at the heart of it all, technology backed…or ‘spirit’ for short.

We work closely and collaboratively with our clients and media partners to deliver fully integrated campaigns based on strategic insights and rich data, underpinned by vast experience across a number of sectors. We’re proud of the exceptional service that our senior team provides and with their depth of experience we are able to deliver outstanding campaign value.

what our valued clients say about us

…it was a very fortunate day when Look Good Feel Better was introduced to Pauline Hanton. Since 2015, Look Good Feel Better charity has benefitted from her advice, strategy and planning. Pauline's understanding and guidance with the increasingly changing media landscape is invaluable. In particular, in 2020, her business once again delivered the very best strategic insights and the ability to execute the campaign within an exceedingly tight time-frame, with outstanding value.
