Citypress rises to seventh in UK M&A communications rankings

Strategic communications consultancy Citypress has reinforced its position as one of the UK’s leading M&A communications advisors, securing 7^th place in Mergermarket’s latest PR advisor league table by deal volume for 2024.

The agency’s financial communications team advised on 46 transactions totalling a combined value of $1bn in 2024, up from 18 in 2023 when Citypress secured 9^th place, working with a diverse range of clients including private equity houses, institutional investors and corporates.

Sophie Millward, Director and Head of Professional Services at Citypress, said: “Our rise in the rankings reflects both the depth of our M&A communications expertise and our ability to navigate increasingly complex stakeholder landscapes. Throughout 2024, we’ve partnered with clients across the full transaction lifecycle, from initial due diligence through to completion and integration.

“As the M&A market continues to strengthen, we’re seeing particular demand for strategic employee engagement and stakeholder communications support, in addition to media relations. With economic conditions stabilising and deal activity gathering momentum, we expect this trend to continue throughout the year.”

The ranking builds on Citypress’s wider industry recognition, which includes accolades such as PRWeek Best Places to Work Large Agency of the Year 2024 and PRMoment Large Agency of the Year 2024.
