PRESSDIRECTO – COMUNICACÃO E RELACÕES PÚBLICAS, LDA
Pressdirecto – Comunicação e Relações Públicas, Lda is a Portuguese limited liability company (sociedade por quotas) registered with the Portuguese commercial registry under company number 505133504. Its registered office is at Rua Fernando Vaz, 12A, 1750-108 Lisboa, and the Instituto dos Registos e do Notariado lists its status as active.
The company’s registered business classification (CAE) is 70200, "atividades de consultoria para os negócios e outra consultoria para a gestão" (business and management consultancy activities). In practice, Pressdirecto operates as a public relations and communications agency. Portuguese business press (ECO, December 2023) explicitly identifies "Pressdirecto — que opera com a marca Taylor" (Pressdirecto, which operates under the Taylor brand), and the Taylor trading name is recorded against the same registration number, 505133504, in the Portuguese business register eInforma. The agency’s official website, taylor.youngnetworkgroup.com, and its LinkedIn page likewise use the Taylor brand, describing it as a "360º" communications and public-relations agency serving clients from startups to multinationals; trade press has reported Taylor winning and servicing communications accounts for corporate clients including Go Contact and Advantis Solutions.
Pressdirecto is part of Portugal’s YoungNetwork Group of communication, marketing and media agencies, alongside sister brands such as Alice, Carmen, Newssearch and Sílaba Notável. In a December 2023 ranking of Portuguese communication agencies published by ECO, Pressdirecto (as Taylor) was placed 14th by 2022 sales revenue at approximately €1.4 million, with the second-best net result and the best EBITDA margin (39.8%) among the agencies covered — company-level figures reported for the 2022 financial year rather than group-consolidated figures.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Pressdirecto – Comunicação e Relações Públicas, Lda
Portugal does not maintain a freely searchable public shareholder register for private limited companies (sociedades por quotas) outside the Instituto dos Registos e do Notariado (IRN) commercial registry and the Central Register of Beneficial Owners (RCBE), neither of which was accessible through the free sources reviewed for this profile. The only verifiable ownership information located is historical: Jornal de Negócios reported on 27 September 2004 that the YoungNetwork group had completed the acquisition of 75% of PressDirecto’s share capital, with the remaining 25% retained by Sofia Alcobia, the company’s founder and, at that date, its director. No more recent, entity-level disclosure of the current shareholder register or ownership percentages was located. Pressdirecto continues to be described in current (2023-2026) Portuguese trade press as operating within the YoungNetwork Group under the Taylor brand, consistent with continued group ownership, but the exact current shareholding structure has not been independently reverified since 2004.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No verified ultimate beneficial owner is identified. The Portuguese Central Register of Beneficial Owners (RCBE) is not publicly searchable through the sources reviewed, and no calculable, fully-sourced ownership chain to a natural person was found.
Data availability
Shareholder information for this company is historical: the only entity-level ownership disclosure located dates to a 2004 transaction announcement, and Portugal’s beneficial-ownership register (RCBE) is restricted rather than freely public.

Officers
Directors and officers of Pressdirecto – Comunicação e Relações Públicas, Lda
No officer or gerente (manager) appointment for this legal entity could be verified against the Portuguese commercial registry (Instituto dos Registos e do Notariado) through the sources reviewed; Portugal’s registry-level officer filings (certidão permanente) require paid registry access that was not used for this profile. The only registry-adjacent, entity-named reference located is historical: a 27 September 2004 Jornal de Negócios report naming Sofia Alcobia as PressDirecto’s founder and then-director, at the time she retained a 25% stake following YoungNetwork’s acquisition of the remaining 75%. Her current status with the company has not been reconfirmed.
Separately, Portuguese trade press (RHmagazine, June 2018) reports Tânia Tadeu as director of the Taylor agency — the trading brand operated by Pressdirecto — succeeding João Santos in that role; this describes agency/brand-level leadership rather than a confirmed legal gerente appointment of the registered company, so it is presented here as operational context only, not as a verified corporate officer.
Data availability
Officer information for this jurisdiction is not found at the registry level through the sources reviewed. Portugal’s IRN commercial registry publishes gerente appointments, but free-tier aggregators did not surface current officer data for this entity, and press references identify brand-level agency leadership rather than confirmed legal officers. Nationality is not disclosed for any individual named above.

Group Structure
Group structure of Pressdirecto – Comunicação e Relações Públicas, Lda
Pressdirecto is not an independent company: Jornal de Negócios reported on 27 September 2004 that YoungNetwork had completed the acquisition of 75% of PressDirecto’s share capital, and the company continues to operate as part of Portugal’s YoungNetwork Group as of current (2026) trade press, trading under the group’s Taylor brand. YoungNetwork – Marketing e Comunicação, Lda (Portuguese registration number 505173379) is the YoungNetwork group operating entity identified in Portugal. A January 2026 Meios & Publicidade article lists Taylor alongside other YoungNetwork Group agencies — Alice, Carmen, YoungColor, Newssearch and Sílaba Notável — as well as international operations in Angola and Mozambique, without providing verified corporate ownership percentages linking each entity individually. On that basis, these are treated here as reported sister brands within the same group rather than as verified, individually-confirmed subsidiary or sister-company relationships. No ultimate parent entity above YoungNetwork was identified; press coverage describes João Duarte as the group’s founder and CEO, but no corporate holding entity or ownership percentage for him was located.
