UNITED KINGDOM
It’s here that Next Fifteen began, with Text 100. 26 years later, Text 100’s consultants continue to deliver quality-accredited corporate communications and media and analyst relations, and London acts as a hub for Text 100’s EMEA operations. Two-thirds of its clients are international brands, including technology and services vendors such as IBM, NXP and ARM. Bite, Inferno and Lexis all have a significant London presence. London now rivals San Francisco as the largest Next Fifteen employment centre, with approximately 240 consultants.

EUROPE AND AFRICA
Europe continues to transform itself with new EU members, an established single currency, and an increasingly harmonised marketplace. While conducting business gets easier, communicating across many languages remains as complex as ever. Next Fifteen has ten offices in the region plus a licensed partner, and a further office in the rising market of South Africa. Every day around 130 consultants show global companies how to successfully implement wide-ranging communications programmes. Some of these are in a single market, but today close to half of Next Fifteen’s European clients are supported in more than one market region-wide.

ASIA PACIFIC
Asia Pacific presents many unique communications challenges. It’s a region of diverse cultures and languages, rarely navigated without plenty of local experience and established relationships. With this in mind, Next Fifteen operates a network of eleven offices under the Text 100 brand, plus three licensed partners, employing more than 220 staff. In addition Bite has recently opened offices in Beijing and Hong Kong.
