The PR Barn: Building a Creative Communications Agency at Campfield
February 26th 2026
Gain insight into how The PR Barn is leveraging dedicated workspace at Campfield to collaborate, build culture, and scale their creative communications agency across a wide range of clients.
At Campfield, we know that the right workspace can help fledgling businesses grow fast. The PR Barn, a creative communications agency founded by Jack Rigby in January 2025, is a perfect example. With dedicated desks at Campfield, Jack has been able to scale his business, collaborate with his team, and develop a strong company culture from day one.
A Space to Collaborate and Grow
The PR Barn works across consumer and corporate PR, handling everything from brand activations, stunts, and events to 360-degree press office management and content campaigns. Their clients include telecoms, property developers, toy manufacturers, and even football clubs.
For Jack, having a space at Campfield is about more than just a desk:
“Campfield was all about having the opportunity to scale and grow. We’ve taken two desks here to collaborate with the team, work on campaigns, and build a business culture. That’s really important to me as we grow the business.”
Being based in Manchester, where Jack has 20 years of experience in the industry, made Campfield the natural choice. The workspace combines convenience with a community of like-minded founders, giving him room to focus on client work while still being part of a vibrant ecosystem.
Learning to Scale Quickly
Jack shares the advice he would give to new founders:
“When you’re starting your business, the biggest thing is the fear of the unknown. My advice? Just go and do it. You’ll be surprised where opportunities and revenue start to come from — sometimes from unexpected clients or contacts. You just need to put in the work, and the growth comes quicker than you expect.”
For The PR Barn, 2025 was about laying strong foundations. With Campfield providing the right environment and support, Jack and his team are ready to capitalise on their early success in 2026.
Plans for 2026
Looking ahead, The PR Barn is focused on scaling and building on the momentum from their first year. Jack highlights the benefits of having a dedicated workspace at Campfield:
“Having a team and office space here means we can do some really great work, collaborate effectively, and hopefully win some awards along the way. Campfield helps us facilitate that growth and culture in a way we couldn’t elsewhere.”
Campfield’s community, facilities, and support make it a space where small businesses like The PR Barn can thrive, innovate, and grow into their full potential.
