The mission-critical connectivity specialist selects Ilex to deliver global communications that drives sales and accelerates market needs
London, UK, 15th May 2026 – Contrivian, a technology company providing intelligent mission-critical connectivity, has appointed Ilex Content Strategies as its public relations agency of record. Ilex will deliver strategic communications designed to support international sales and strengthen Contrivian’s position across markets.
Contrivian serves governments, emergency responders, energy operators, mining and enterprises operating in remote environments where connectivity must remain stable, secure and predictable. Contrivian enables organisations to modernise connectivity without adding complexity or disruption, ensuring all organisations are connected without failure, everywhere.
Together, Contrivian and Ilex will work to elevate the company’s international profile through targeted media engagement, thought leadership and strategic communications that reinforce Contrivian as a trusted provider of resilient connectivity. The partnership will support Contrivian’s growth, increasing visibility, strengthening market awareness and showcasing its commitment to delivering dependable connectivity in the most demanding remote environments.
“While we have worked with communications agencies in the past, we have never experienced the depth of industry knowledge and expertise that we have with Ilex. They get what we do as a business and I trust that they will support our objectives with strategic media relations that have already generated leads for us,” said Grant Kirkwood, CEO at Contrivian. “It’s rare to find a partner that can deliver value from day one without the need to explain and educate them on the business. That has been a clear differentiator. While we can focus on connectivity, we know our customers are kept in the loop of our news through Ilex’s global reputation and efficiency.”
Ilex will work closely with the team at Juniper Digital and fractional Chief Marketing Officer, Matthew Ray, to deliver international media relations and strategic consultancy aligned to sales objectives. Using its Borderless PR model, Ilex will ensure consistent messaging and efficient global reach across key markets, without the complexity of managing multiple local agencies.
“Contrivian has strong leadership and clear ambitions for growth. Our focus is on turning that into market momentum, ensuring the right audiences understand who they are, what they stand for and why it matters,” said Matthew Whalley, Managing Director & Co-Founder at Ilex Content Strategies. “When that’s done well, it directly supports sales and accelerates growth. We’re looking forward to working closely with the team to make that happen.”
Founded in 2012, Ilex Content Strategies works with telecoms, cloud, cybersecurity, data centre and digital infrastructure organisations at key moments of growth, repositioning and market expansion. Its approach combines deep industry expertise with strategic communications to build visibility, shape positioning and deliver measurable commercial impact.
