Jaye Thompson, a leading PR and communications specialist, is stepping out on his own with the launch of Thompson Communications, a consultancy offering services spanning from communications advisory to brand building to influence, celebrity and events planning.
Having spent two decades heading up communications for a plethora of luxury brands including Tiffany & Co. from 2017 to 2021 and Cartier from 2021 to the end of 2024, Thompson spent the past decade between Paris and New York, but despite the years abroad, London – his longtime home turf – ultimately beckoned him back. “I really felt also that it was time to take what I think is this somewhat unique global experience and bring it home to serve clients and business partners here,” he says.
Though Thompson Communications is based in Mayfair, London, the British executive is taking a global approach to his communications strategies and how he offers corporate counsel to clientele. “[I] want to be nimble and agile in my approach,” he says.
What’s more, Thompson will be spreading his skilled wings and expanding his reach into new categories. “[I] am keen to explore the realms of beauty, wellness, hospitality and the arts,” he says.
The new firm’s premiere client will be Entitled1, a platform meant to act as an incubator and sole commercial partner for emerging contemporary artists to sell their work, which launches February 25 (watch this space) and will be headed up by publishing veteran Sam O’Shaughnessy.
With Thompson Communications, he is poised to blend international expertise with London’s creative energy, ushering in a new chapter defined by global perspective, strategic agility and a fresh commitment to shaping influential brands.
