Agency Statement:
Cognito is the global communications agency for finance, technology and the climate transition. We partner with organizations, from established leaders to startup challengers, to advise on how to manage reputation, handle threats and build value in competitive and disrupted markets.With creative content and an understanding of channel complexity, we protect and grow our clients’ businesses through purpose-driven communications and stakeholder engagement.
Our team of 85+ Cognitians around the world bring together 20 languages from 15 countries. With big agency and in-house expertise, we work across corporate communications, PR, digital marketing, social, branding and creative design to communicate what’s next. You can find us on the ground in key financial markets—New York, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney and DACH.
From the start, Cognito has been built on the assumption that finance is different. That’s why since 2000 we’ve consistently hired people with varied careers such as financial journalists, bankers, FS marketing executives, advertising planners and social media strategists. Whatever the differing needs, clients agree that part of what makes Cognito an effective partner for them is our specialization and our recognition that finance is different.
