W Communications has been appointed to handle global PR for British online newspaper, The Independent.

W Communications previously worked with The Independent between 2010 and 2016 on some of the brand’s most iconic campaigns and initiatives – from award-winning work around the Soapbox debates during the run-up to the 2010 general election, to promoting its annual UK Happy List.

W Communications will be supporting The Independent in the UK and US via their rapidly growing NYLON offering, working to amplify its core brand as well as that of Independent Media, which launched in May, bringing The Independent together with BuzzFeed UK, HuffPost, indy100, Tasty UK and Seasoned to create Britain's biggest publisher network for Gen Z and millennials.
