Liberty842 was founded in 2009 by sisters Tayler and Daisy Cresswell.

Liberty 8442 was our grandmother’s first telephone number. Those were the days when an army of women ran our telephone exchanges, listening and connecting callers. In the early days, they knew everyone by name. 

Today, we develop and manage conversations in real time on behalf of clients and celebrities. We talk to fans and consumers, one-to-one and we understand what makes them tick. Our working hours are dictated by our audiences, not the office 9-5. It’s a labour of love.
