Organisations in the non-profit and public sector face a communications challenge that commercial agencies rarely understand. You need to build trust, demonstrate impact and engage multiple stakeholder groups simultaneously – often with limited resources, strict governance requirements and audiences that are rightly sceptical of marketing language.
We have worked with NGOs, cultural institutions, universities and public bodies for decades. We understand your world, your constraints and your ambitions.
Communications strategies that serve your mission – not just your marketing objectives. We work with NGOs and public bodies to develop messaging frameworks that speak credibly to funders, beneficiaries, partners and the public at the same time.
Annual reports, impact reports, grant reporting documents and stakeholder publications that communicate your work clearly, compellingly and credibly. We write, design and produce the full document – from first draft to print-ready file.
Organisational strategy planning and stakeholder alignment. Concept development and grant-ready project writing. EU and UK funding partnerships and full proposal management – from initial concept through to submission and reporting.

Website management, social media strategy and content production for organisations that need to maintain a credible digital presence without a large in-house team. We make your digital channels work harder with less resource.
Awareness campaigns, fundraising communications, advocacy campaigns and public information programmes. Strategy, creative and production under one roof – aligned with your mission and your audience.
Modern trade union strategy – worker engagement, inclusion and wellbeing communications. Collective action narratives and campaign messaging. Learning and training content to support fairer, more inclusive workplaces.
Cultural and community-based project planning. Cross-sectoral collaboration models. Strategic communication support and public engagement campaigns for councils and local authorities.
We have a particular specialism in communications for cultural organisations – arts institutions, festivals, creative hubs and organisations working at the intersection of culture and technology. Our connection to the C4CCI research centre gives us a unique academic and strategic perspective on this sector.
Research communications, international partnership content and cross-sector collaboration communications – particularly around UK-Turkey and UK-EU academic exchange programmes.

We know that your communications budget is limited and every pound needs to work. We build lean, effective strategies – not bloated campaigns designed to impress rather than deliver.
