Consultancy

We provide strategic communications consultancy, drawing on more than a decade of experience in PR, editorial communications and marketing across agency and in-house environments. Clients get the same editorial rigour and cultural grounding that drives the investigation: finding where the narrative sits, making the complicated accessible, and building communications that land.
What we offer
Brand positioning and messaging
For organisations navigating complex stakeholder environments where the standard messaging framework falls short. We find where the narrative actually sits, test it against how your audiences think, and build positioning that holds under scrutiny. That includes stakeholder communications where the same story needs to land with funders, partners, internal teams and publics without losing its edge. Particularly suited to organisations at inflection points: new leadership, sector shifts, or moments where the old story no longer fits.
PR strategy
Media landscape knowledge applied to earned coverage that actually moves the needle. We develop PR strategies grounded in editorial understanding of how stories get picked up, what journalists and editors are looking for, and where your narrative fits within the wider conversation. For organisations that want partnerships and press coverage with substance.
Campaign development
Bringing editorial depth and cultural grounding to campaigns that need to resonate beyond surface-level engagement. We work from audience understanding and cultural context rather than formulaic frameworks. For brands and organisations that want their campaigns to carry meaning.
Pitch strategy and new business support
Helping agencies and studios sharpen their story for competitive pitches. We work on narrative structure, distinctive angle, and how to present thinking in a way that lands with the room. The difference is editorial rigour applied to commercial storytelling.
Thought leadership development
From identifying the angle to shaping content that builds real authority. Thought leadership only works when there's an actual thought behind it. We help find the perspective that's genuinely yours, ground it in evidence, and develop it into content that positions you as someone worth listening to.
Partnership development
Connecting organisations to the right communities, collaborators and brands. We draw on a practitioner network that spans the creative industries to identify where partnerships make strategic sense, then help build the relationships and the narrative around them. For organisations that want partnerships grounded in shared purpose rather than logo swaps.
Event content curation
Applying editorial rigour to how events communicate. We help shape the narrative arc, develop the messaging, and help select speakers who bring genuine perspective. For organisers who want their events to say something worth being in the room for.
How we work
The same evidence standards apply here as in our editorial work. We research before we recommend. We ground claims in what we actually know.
Engagements are scoped to what's needed. Some are focused on a specific challenge. Others are ongoing partnerships as context evolves. We work with clients across the creative industries and with brands and organisations communicating to creative and cultural audiences.
