Travel, hospitality and luxury lifestyle agency J Public Relations has launched its international flagship with the opening of a new office in London.
The UK outpost, located in the WeWork Chancery Lane space on Gray's Inn Road, officially opened in April. The new office is led by UK director Emma Hartland-Mahon, who returns to her native UK after serving as account director in JPR’s New York office since 2012.
Prior to joining the agency, Hartland-Mahon previously worked as an account director with London agency Mango PR.

JPR partner Sarah Evans told O’Dwyer’s that opening a London office was a natural progression for the agency, as the UK is an important market for many of its global clients.
“We are proud of the strong presence we’ve built on both coasts, and that never gets lost in translation with our partners,” Evans said. “Taking JPR to the world stage with the launch of our London office was a natural next step. With our global client list, visibility and global access is vital.”
The agency in June also announced that it has moved into another new location on Santa Monica Blvd. in Santa Monica, CA. JPR in May hired Gillian Flynn, former editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury San Diego, to serve as editorial director. Flynn will curate editorial content from the agency's San Diego headquarters.
JPR, which was founded in 2005, last year accounted for more than $6 million in net fees, revealing growth of more than 25 percent from the year prior.
