FWD Global

Our multi-lingual PR and Communications team supports clients across the UK, Europe, the US and Asia, and FWD’s international reach is extended further by its partnership with Worldcom, the world’s leading partnership of independent public relations firms. Worldcom gives us access to 110 international partners in over 95 cities on six continents. Through Worldcom, we can offer immediate international on-the-ground support and expertise from specialists around the world who understand the language, culture and customs of the regions in which you operate. We are adept at working across time zones and regional requirements.

FWD Research has strong experience of conducting primary research internationally on both qualitative and quantitative levels.  We work with a small group of highly specialist B2B qual researchers who have many years’ experience of conducting financial and professional services research. Engaging with specialists in international B2B research is important due to the added complexities of recruiting the correct respondents according to job roles and being able to communicate effectively in a business tone of voice. The ability to do this well, at scale and in multiple languages and cultures is a unique skill.

We are a trusted partner in an ever-changing and challenging world.

“Having worked with FWD since 2012 speaks for itself: the team holds the journalist relationships on our behalf and drives thought leadership campaigns in our complex B2B technology segment.”
