Retained clients save tens of thousands of pounds a year on the salaried cost of an equivalent post by outsourcing to DSM instead.

Millions of pounds in new revenues have also been generated for clients by DSM’s editorial coverage in the media – valuable coverage which is amplified through business-to-business platform LinkedIn.

The independent consultancy, in its 28th year in 2026, is staffed by a team of professionally qualified former news journalists with more than 170 years’ frontline media experience between them.

DSM’s expertise includes ‘page-ready’ press releases for market announcements, LinkedIn management, media training, crisis communications, reputation management, award entries, stakeholder engagement, photography, promotional video and design.

From retainers and one-off projects to LinkedIn management and strategic counsel to decision-makers and marketing teams, DSM provides professional multi-media content and advice.

DSM has been a member of the Executive Association Solent for more than 10 years; the company’s Managing Director and owner Ron Wain was Chairman in 2021-22.
