REKT Partners' sister agency launches to provide discreet reputation counsel

George Godsal has launched DGR Partners to provide discreet reputation advisory to a select client base, including individuals, families, and organisations. Based in London and operating globally, the firm has handled cases such as helping a family navigate media scrutiny, managing international media interest in litigation, and boosting the profile of an organisation serving high-net-worth clients.

DGR Partners operates as a sister agency to REKT Partners, which George launched in 2022 after nearly three decades of experience across APAC and EMEA. His previous roles include leading communications at BitMEX and serving as Regional Managing Director, APAC for Burson's reputation, risk, and crisis offerings.

Commenting on the launch of DGR Partners, George said, "Over the last 20-plus years, I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to help clients all over the world navigate an extraordinary range of reputational challenges from high-profile personal tragedies to existential corporate issues and everything in between. At REKT Partners, there is significant demand for a consultancy that can fuse grown-up reputational advice with a deep understanding of the crypto and blockchain sectors.

"And owing to the wide-ranging issues and crisis expertise of the REKT Partners� team, we have increasingly been approached by prospective clients beyond the blockchain world looking for support in managing reputation challenges. Launching DGR Partners is therefore a natural evolution and, as we formalise our expanded offering our ambition is to grow both brands."
