CAMPAIGNS THAT WORK
FOR CLIENTS WE BELIEVE IN.

Big Top is an independent communications agency founded in 2014 by Charlie Le Rougetel, who has more than three decades of experience creating game-changing campaigns.

If you need a digital comms campaign to rally your community, PR outreach that triggers consumer action, fresh content to engage your customers and spark a reaction, award entries that get you on the winner’s podium or honest strategic input to help grow your business, you’ve come to the right place.

Our clients include award-winning events - New Scientist Live, Brand Licensing Europe and Business Travel Europe (yes, we did write that nomination), to name a few - and businesses, including CTM (we wrote that entry, too), SilverDoor and Davis Experience and Events Agency. 

We also provide PR and social support for events outside the UK: Business Travel Show America, plus its sister event in Asia Pacific, co-located with The Meetings Show Asia Pacific. Then, there's the most glamorous night in the meetings industry calendar - the  M&IT Awards (someone has to report live from the ‘red carpet’). 

Not forgetting the work we do for not-for-profit organisations like Retail Trust and Girls Friendly Society (pro-bono), and UK purposeful powerhouses like Borough Broth, Spice Box, Voop and Kids Industries.
