Elate Communications wins new UK PR brief with Kony

Elate Communications has been selected as the new UK PR partner of Kony, a leading cloud-based enterprise mobility company.

The brief will include messaging, media relations, analyst relations, event support and social media work, with the agency to collaborate with the client's US corporate communications team and European marketing head.

Kony is one of the industry's fastest-growing firms and has been named as a leader among mobile application development platform providers by analyst firm Gartner.

Elate hopes to help Kony to communicate the commercial benefits of enterprise-led mobile strategies to UK chief information officers, business function heads and the development and design communities.

Simon Glazer, managing director at Elate Communications, said: "This is a great new client win, and we are delighted to be working with such a marquee mobile technology brand within this high-growth and exciting market."

This caps a successful 2014 for the agency, which earned new contracts with the UK technology businesses RedPixie and SalesMethods earlier in the year.
