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.

“No matter how vital experience might be while you lived it, no sooner was it ended and dead than it became as lifeless as the piles of dry dust in a school history book.”

“In the history of the human mind, these glowing and ruddy fables precede the noonday thoughts of men, as Aurora the sun’s rays. The matutine intellect of the poet, keeping in advance of the glare of philosophy, always dwells in this auroral atmosphere.”
