Founder
Jaye Thompson is one of the most experienced luxury communications strategists working today — a practitioner who has shaped how some of the world's most iconic brands tell their stories.
After senior agency roles in London, Jaye spent a decade brand-side at the very highest level: first as Global Director of PR Strategy at a leading American jewellery house in New York, then as Global Director of Public Relations and Influence at a storied French maison in Paris, where he led communications across 37 markets.
Returning to London, he founded Thompson Communications to bring that rare combination of Maison-level rigour and independent agility to a new generation of brands.
Our Approach
We bring together a highly experienced team, each member as culturally curious as the next, united by a genuinely global mindset and a client-centric way of working. Wherever our clients are based, we apply the same insight: a deep understanding of markets and industry trends, and what it takes for a brand to respond with authenticity, strategic vision, and lasting connection.
This translates into a genuinely 360 approach; content and storytelling, industry relationships, event design, and media strategy, all built on an innate understanding of a landscape that never stands still. We don't just keep pace with a fast-moving cultural and media environment; we help our clients move with it, and sometimes ahead of it.
“Working with Jaye and his team brought precision thinking and amazing creativity to the communications perspective of the launch of Entitled1. They are always an intelligent and delightful team to partner with”
- Sam O O'Shaughnessy, Launch CEO of Entitled1
