WHO WE ARE
Sharpe International is a full service PR consultancy, specialising in financial services. We have been advising large global and small domestic and international companies successfully since early 2012.
A well-managed reputation
We understand the importance of a well-managed reputation when it comes to building brand advocacy with stakeholders and opinion formers. To enhance and protect this, we use integrated communications.
Passion for communications
Motivated by our curiosity, creativity and passion for communications, we work in close partnership with our clients. At the same time, being outside our clients’ organisation enables us to look objectively at opportunities and threats and give clear advice.

We are a no-nonsense firm
believing in honesty and transparency.
