(02)About the agency

A small agency that answers the phone at eleven at night.

SWP was built by people who used to sit on the newsroom side of the call. That shapes everything about how we work.

We pitch stories editors can defend in a conference meeting. We tell clients when an announcement is not news yet, even when they have already booked the photographer. And we never send a release we would have deleted ourselves.

Eleven people, no account-executive layer, no franchise partners. The person who wins your business is the person who runs it — which is also why we take twelve clients at a time and no more.

(03)What clients say
They told us our funding round was not a story yet — then spent six weeks finding the one that was.
Iris KovačCEO, Northwind Bio — client since 2023
Camille picked up at 11pm on a Sunday. By Monday morning we had a statement, a Q&A and a plan. That is the whole review.
Owen BlackwoodGeneral Counsel, Maru Financial
I had turned down every interview for two years because I was terrified of them. After SWP's training I did nine in a quarter, and enjoyed most of them.
Renata HaldenFounder, Halden Studio
Every other agency sent us a coverage forecast. SWP sent a list of questions we could not answer — and that list changed the launch.
