For organisations working in the knowledge economy or engaging with a complex set of stakeholders, a well-defined communications strategy with messaging that gets to the heart of why you matter is crucial.
Our consultation and strategy packages are tailored to SMEs, research organisations and charities looking for ongoing professional advice, a launch plan, or a refreshed communications and public relations strategy.
Consult and mentor
For busy leaders and managers
In a 1-hour session with our lead consultant, we’ll talk through your goals and challenges and discuss possible solutions for you to implement in your own time.
This package provides guidance to help you to move your communications forward and keep you on track with your goals. It is offered as a regular check-in with a senior communications professional.
Book your first consultation
Get in touch with an outline of your organisation or project and the challenges you face. We’ll then put together a bespoke proposal and arrange dates for an initial meeting.
Six weekly or monthly 1-hour sessions.
Kickstart
For new organisations, SMEs, and research programmes in set-up mode that need to launch with a clear path forward
Getting a new organisation or project off the ground is challenging enough without having to think about communications. Don’t go it alone.
Our consultant will work with you to develop your communications and PR strategy. Your objectives, audiences, channels and messaging will be identified, and you’ll receive a roadmap of communications activities to help achieve your goals.
Our design associates will then develop your visual identity, your social media presence will be deployed and you’ll receive compelling ‘about’ copy for your website and promotional materials. If required, we can also develop a small website and deliver further support depending on your needs.
Launch with confidence
Get in touch to arrange a free 30-minute discovery call to see if we can help you launch with a clear strategy. We’ll then put together a bespoke proposal.
Revitalise
For existing organisations and programmes looking to refresh and revitalise their communications
When there’s so much going on, it’s easy to lose sight of where you’re going. Organisations evolve and stakeholder needs change. Often, it can take a fresh pair of eyes of see how your communications function can take advantage of new opportunities.
You will receive an analysis of your existing communications and public relations activities and review your strategy and messaging, and a proposed series of recommendations to help you to achieve your goals. If you have been operating without a strategy, we will work with you to identify and refresh your objectives, audiences, channels and messaging. We will recommend a set of activities along with a delivery plan.
As part of this package, a selection of your stakeholders will be interviewed to understand their preferences and perspectives. This is so we can be confident that we are positioning your organisation with the best possible chances of rekindling those lapsed relationships, or establishing new ones.
