Lighthouse PR grew 85% in 2025 and consolidated its positioning in strategic, integrated, B2B and crisis communication.
The Lighthouse PR group of companies closed 2025 with an 85% increase in turnover compared to 2024, reaching €550,000. The result marks an important milestone in the group's development and reflects the consolidation of a business model built on consultancy, high added value and long-term partnerships.
Beyond the financial performance, the growth carries strategic significance for Lighthouse PR. During the period reviewed, the group did not run any advertising budgets through its companies, which means the revenue increase is directly linked to communication, PR and marketing services delivered to clients — not to media budgets transited through the agency.
A growth model built on consultancy, expertise and long-term partnerships
"For us, this result matters not only for the growth percentage but above all for what it reflects. The Lighthouse PR group has grown through clients who chose us for our expertise and especially through clients who have stayed with us year after year because they trust that we deliver what is needed, when it is needed, to achieve the agreed objectives. We act as an extension of our clients' teams, we adapt to their pace, objectives and challenges, and we remain close even in moments when communication becomes sensitive, complex or critical," says Ana Maria Gardiner, founder of Lighthouse PR.
Lighthouse PR currently works with businesses in dynamic, competitive industries, including financial services and crypto, technology and cybersecurity, energy, retail and FMCG, industrial manufacturing, and transportation and logistics. This diversity of industries has contributed to the development of an integrated approach in which communication is treated as a business instrument for reputation and trust.
Key Differentiators
One of Lighthouse PR's major differentiators is its expertise in integrated communication and B2B communication. In a market where many services are fragmented across multiple providers, Lighthouse PR offers a broad range of competencies — from media relations, corporate communication, social media, influencer marketing and reputation management to media buying and paid media, corporate events, crisis communication and business continuity planning. The exception is specialist Google Ads and Google Display services, which the group does not deliver directly but which it can integrate into the overall communication architecture.
In an industry where visibility is sometimes confused with performance, an independent company with a more modest self-promotion budget may not always be in the spotlight. This does not mean its services are any less solid. On the contrary, in many situations, independent agencies can offer greater senior consultant involvement, flexibility, genuine client attention, cost efficiency and a better quality-to-price ratio.
Lighthouse PR consolidates its crisis communication and business continuity services
From 2026, Lighthouse PR is consolidating its high-added-value service area: communication risk assessment, crisis preparedness and management, communication in critical situations, crisis recovery, business continuity planning and stakeholder communications.
This direction comes in a context where companies need more than visibility. They need clarity in decisions, coherent messaging, risk scenarios, the ability to react quickly in sensitive situations, and partners who understand the impact of communication on reputation, commercial relationships, internal teams and business continuity.
