360 is an intelligent communications agency
We help clients build communications cultures and strategies from the ground up using expert insights and hard data.
We know the old ways of PR but fully embrace and incorporate the platforms and media of now. Data analytics and video production are as familiar to us as the broadsheets and Leinster House.
