Our People

With Pelican you get the people you see at the pitch. Our strength lies in our experience. Unlike other agencies we do not operate the traditional account executive, account manager and account director structure. All our team are highly experienced PR and marketing communications professionals. As such they are able to advise clients on a range of marketing communications activities. All our clients value the fact that they are getting quality advice from seasoned professionals, rather than incomplete advice from junior inexperienced staff.
