Ben Lowndes

Ben Lowndes founded Distinctive Communications in 2022, after more than 20 years experience in journalism and public relations. He’s worked in the South West since 2010, firstly for a government body and then in senior agency roles. In that time, he’s supported some of the region’s most high profile and transformative projects, including Hinkley Point C, Gravity smart campus and the £200m regeneration of Gloucester city centre.

An expert in digital engagement and one of just 450 chartered PR practitioners in the UK, he has developed and delivered communication strategies for businesses, housebuilders, local authorities, universities and charities.

When setting up Distinctive, Ben wanted to create a consultancy that’s dedicated to places and makes a positive impact. To that end, the team’s work has helped unlock hundreds of millions of pounds in investment, create thousands of jobs and advance clients’ growth ambitions.
