A permanently changing connected complaining world
Effective communications used to be easy.
Back when Fleet Street genuinely shaped the mood of the nation. And four channel TV guaranteed peak-time audiences for big budget ads.
But that was a lifetime ago.
Great communicators still rely on the same skills they always did – knowing how to tell stories that will spur a target audience into action.
Or knowing how to defend an organisation’s well-earned reputation.
But now we also have to game the algorithms.
We need to create communications strategies which work across paid, owned and earned channels.
And we need to track the effectiveness of everything we do. In real-time.
Which is exactly what we do.

What do we do?
Communications strategy
We develop and implement communications strategies which solve business challenges.
By defining success before we start. And then delivering.
Content creation and social media
We create content which resonates with your audiences across paid, owned and earned channels.
And we train your team to do the same thing too.
Crisis communications
We help organisations maintain their reputations in good times and in bad.
By offering a bespoke blend of training, consultancy and hands-on support.
Publicity and promotion
We help you reach the the right people at the right time - with the right message.
To cut a long story short, we know the difference between genuine influence and 'influencers'.

Who are we?
A network of experts
Restless Communications was set up by Chris Reed in 2011 to span PR, digital, content and social comms.
Our senior team has unrivalled expertise delivering multichannel communications strategies – from editing (and then overseeing digital strategy for) a national newspaper group, to strategy, creative and film direction for household-name global brands.
We don’t have big teams sat around waiting for the phone to ring.
Or glamorous expensive offices.
But we do have a fantastic network of associates who we partner with.
And between us we deliver excellent work.

What do our clients say?
"It was a pleasure to work with the Restless team on a number of projects. The campaigns which they worked with us on benefitted hugely from their social media insights, understanding of branded content and strategic approach to live events"
"Chris helped us to improve the customer service delivered via social media channels at Eurostar by focusing our communication strategy, implementing best practice and helping to create a consistent approach between corporate and social media communications."
"Chris's digital expertise has been a great help to us at Amnesty, both as a judge for the Amnesty International Media Awards and with advice on digital PR"
We approached Restless to help develop a social advertising strategy and creative approach to increase web traffic and recruitment for our online research panels. The team ended up far surpassing our expectations - social has become our most cost effective acquisition method.
We’ve been working with Restless for many years now, enlisting them to assist with an international social media audit each year, helping us develop ambitious goals and measurable KPIs with an overall social media strategy that can flex across all our channels and markets. What’s more, Chris and Naomi are always on hand to answer any pressing questions we may have and provide guidance where needed
