Manchester PR firm to accept cryptocurrencies from clients

Manchester-based PR agency Future has announced it will begin accepting cryptocurrencies Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum from clients.

The agency, which focuses on corporate and CEO profiling and works with clients with turnovers of £1m to 100m plus, will begin accepting the currencies from today.

Clients will be able to pay Future in cryptocurrency based on the currency rate applicable on the date of the invoice. Rates are currently at £5,048.22 for one Bitcoin, £172.04 for one Ethereum and £44.31 for one Litecoin.

Future says it is the first agency in the UK marketing and PR industry to accept all three cryptocurrencies for fees.

Owner and MD Nina Sawetz said: “Cryptocurrency is still widely misunderstood as a form of payment and we aim to change that. There are huge advantages for clients paying in crypto, from the fluctuating rates which are often beneficial to the wider understanding of the currency as a payment method.

“Future’s whole business model is built on driving an out-dated industry forward so it’s a natural next step, and one we should have implemented much sooner.”
