Country : England

Formed in 1993 and headquartered in London, RELX is a global information, analytics and events group serving professional and business customers. Its portfolio spans scientific, technical and medical information through Elsevier, legal research and workflow tools through LexisNexis, risk and identity analytics through LexisNexis Risk Solutions, and international exhibitions through RX. In 2025 the group generated GBP 9.59 billion in revenue and employed more than 36,000 people worldwide. Its platforms combine proprietary content, large-scale data sets and workflow technology, including more than 105 million scientific publication records and more than 207 billion legal and news documents and records. RELX has shifted decisively from print towards digital analytics and decision tools. More than 12,000 technologists support product development, with responsible AI principles, source traceability and expert oversight built into its generative AI approach. The group also reported a 34% reduction in location-based Scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2025 compared with 2024.
Corporate media relations programme to position RELX as an information and decision-support group rather than a collection of specialist databases and exhibitions. A master narrative connects trusted content, professional workflows, responsible AI and measurable societal value, supported by segment-specific proof points and a clear spokesperson architecture. Scope includes message development, executive media preparation, a modular press kit, issue and Q&A planning, data-led thought-leadership angles, targeted briefings and coordination across Elsevier, LexisNexis, Risk and RX. Reporting distinguishes corporate reputation from individual business visibility and measures media authority, message pull-through, source quality, sentiment and qualified stakeholder response.
Target reporting: 118 priority outlets mapped across business, technology, science, law, data and events; 72 individualised pitches; 30 journalist briefings; 82 earned articles, interviews or broadcast items. At least 50 outputs would come from tier-one or specialist media (61.0%), 76 would be positive or neutral in tone (92.7%) and 64 would reproduce at least one priority message (78.0%). The programme would target a combined potential reach of 26.8 million, 24 earned backlinks and 14 qualified inbound requests. Performance would be tracked through pitch-to-briefing conversion (41.7%), source authority, responsible-AI message pull-through, sentiment and stakeholder response.
