What are you looking for?
We believe in the power of strategic communications to create positive change and shape distinctive places where people choose to live, work and invest. Driven by data and rooted in creativity, we help our clients navigate complexity, build trust and drive change to shape a more sustainable future, together.
Working across all five jurisdictions of the UK and Ireland, our team of communications experts bring a depth of experience in public affairs, corporate affairs, politics, social value, net zero infrastructure, planning, public sector and property. We combine strategic intelligence with creativity to guide clients through increasingly complex social, political, environmental and economic landscapes.
We’re not your typical communications team.
As a trusted partner for clients across the built environment, we design bespoke communications strategies that are grounded in real-world insights and crafted to achieve measurable outcomes. We put people at the heart of our work – building trust, shaping stories and creating strategies that connect communities, clients and places.
Combining deep insight, creative solutions and strategic expertise, we deliver tailored, expert communications solutions across three core service offers:
We combine compelling political engagement with inclusive and accessible community consultation to shape attitudes, generate support and secure positive project outcomes.
We leverage insights from real people by deploying targeted surveys and focus groups, to inform the design of new places, policies, strategies or interventions that deliver better outcomes for projects and communities alike.
In a world where complex jargon creates barriers, we speak the languages of planning, economics, sustainability and more. Translating this into interesting, creative and engaging campaigns that reach your audiences effectively and authentically position your brand to drive meaningful change.
Underpinning everything we do in Strategic Communications is our multi-service Social Value offer to help our clients to maximise positive change in communities.
Whether you are planning your next development, creating a whole new place, providing infrastructure, or delivering a product or service, our Strategic Communications approach is driven by a deep understanding of local issues. This insight helps us to design and deliver strategies that have the best chances of addressing the unique challenges and opportunities of each project and community.
