Houston Associates is founded on the need for a creative PR company within the business-to-business field. This creativity, combined with a high level of technical knowledge in our specialist fields, delivers exceptional results. The company operates from a central office in Sydenham, London, and has talented, experienced and qualified staff. Founded in 1992, Houston Associates' core service is PR for technology companies, from engineering to telecoms and electronics to software.

The company also has an in-house design team and a specialist Internet and new media department. Houston Associates' founder, John Houston, is a former journalist with experience on four trade press titles and The Financial Times. Other employees include a former Dow Jones journalist, the former senior technical editor of Eureka magazine and senior staff from several other PR companies. Such experience guarantees large agency methodologies but with the dynamics of a medium sized agency.

In 2003, PR Week and Marketing magazines listed Houston Associates in their Top-150 agency tables - the most authoritative measures of PR consultancy in the UK. By the time the April 2004 rankings are complete, Houston Associates expects to have climbed considerably. The firm is also listed in the PR Week Top-50 technology agency table.
