Public First is a lobbying firm founded in 2016 by ex-government special adviser James Frayne, a lobbyist who has worked for UK environment secretary Michael Gove while he was at the UK Department for Education; in think tanks; and in commercial lobbying agencies.
Public First is focused on 'helping organisations change public policy and improve their reputations' - in other words, persuading the public to support the interests of its corporate clients. [1]
Frayne has a reputation for being one of the best of the current crop of Tory-leaning media strategists. Among critics, he is known for his promotion of deceptive astroturf campaigns for business interests. He is a former director policy and strategy at the Policy Exchange, a leading right-wing think tank.
