History
Lexis was established as an independent PR agency by founders Bill Jones and Tim Adams, in London in 1992.
Their first major client was Superdrug. Hugh Birley joined as managing director two years later, and went on to successfully lead a management buy-out in 2002. Jones and Adams left Lexis later that year and Birley became CEO.
In August 2005, international communications group Next Fifteen Communications acquired a 25% stake in Lexis and went on to acquire a further 51% stake in 2006. In August 2007, Lexis’ first graduate recruit Margot Raggett became CEO.
In August 2011 when Raggett left Lexis, Jason Gallucci, formerly managing director, took over the CEO role.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
