Hey there. We’re Canoe. We are one of London’s most experienced communication agencies specialising in PR, Social, talent and everything creative. Our name was inspired by a book. Our ethos by a few words scribbled in the forward. Paddle your own canoe.

See the world from a fresh perspective. And stay connected to the real world. It’s an ethos that continues to guide us.
