Spear’s Review

Felix Meston, a reputation manager and managing director at Seven Dials City, advises CEOs and founders on how to build and protect their reputation.

Meston, who has 16 years’ experience in PR, advises global asset managers, private equity investors, investment banks, entrepreneurs and fast-growth startups on issues including fundraising, M&A and IPOs. He works at the intersection of investor and public relations, bringing together communications strategy, financial storytelling and discretion in high-stakes situations.

Part of the Together Group, Seven Dials City works closely with its sister luxury marketing and consultancy firms to offer joined-up advice. Meston tells Spear’s that ‘reputation is my clients’ greatest asset – it can be built, or destroyed, in minutes’. He adds that clients often entrust him in ‘extremely tricky situations’, from major transactions to sensitive personal and family matters, where keeping issues out of the media is often the priority.
