Gabrielle Shaw Communications is a global creative communications agency that partners with brands and entrepreneurs to unlock their purpose, shape perceptions, and cultivate desire.
We are experts across Sustainability & Purpose, Luxury, Lifestyle, Retail, Travel, Beauty & Wellness, Food & Beverage, Interiors and Arts & Culture.
Our London-based team comprises passionate experts from a range of backgrounds, allowing us to work and move nimbly across sectors with equal knowledge and experience. We have brought together the best in their fields from classic PR’s, brand strategists, advertising experts to journalists and social media content creators. This eclectic mix of talent differentiates us from other agencies and ensures we have expertise in every area.
Our passion for start-ups drove us in 2018 to launch our Accelerator Programme, hand-pick some start-ups and invest in them, helping them grow into a global brand. We especially look to support brands that are sustainable, diverse or with female founders. We will also help an established brand that has placed a commitment to sustainability at its core and wants to build upon that.
Twice a year, we invite start-ups to apply for our Accelerator Programme and Brand Boot Camps. We’ll offer you a start-up package at reduced fees, a Brand Boot Camp and company support. Instead of paying a regular fee, we are prepared to discuss entrepreneurial and bespoke partnerships to find an arrangement that is beneficial to both of us.
We offer our Chelsea retail showroom to accelerator clients and collaborators to showcase their products as part of our offering. This allows them to directly sell their product offering to the public as well as the wholesale trade from a prestigious London address. Innovative furniture retailer Coco Wolf are operating their full showroom with us as well as the range of our grooming health and wellness clients. Our showroom opening hours are as follows :
