"Listening skills are as important as the big idea."

Tony Allen

Director of Brand

Say what you stand for, not what you make

A principle in the panoply of good branding. It means people want to know what you believe in to know if they can relate to you and if you are for them. That’s why we spend so much time in branding, helping companies to humanise their brand and making people, their customers, employees, shareholders and others, care about what they are trying to do.

To get ahead, companies must stop thinking about getting ahead – and start thinking about what is real, what really interests them and where they really want to get to. That will do more to super-charge connected communications than anything else

Richard Costa

Doing then saying.

“Your stakeholders are paying attention to what you say. Whether it’s for customers, investors, regulators, employees or suppliers, telling a clear story matters. Your audiences want to hear how you live and breathe a wider corporate purpose beyond shareholder value and how you create long-term sustainable success.

Stakeholders want to trust the companies they engage with, and companies need to maintain good reputations. People trust companies that have done the right thing, behaved responsibly, and communicated transparently and honestly.

Good corporate governance and clear corporate communications have never been more important. We help you tell your corporate story your way while ensuring compliance with the various regulations.”

"Sustainability is central to all business strategy and demanded by all stakeholders."

Katy Fuller

Senior Sustainability Consultant

Design is intelligence made visible.

Integrating sustainability principles and performance management into your purpose, strategy, and reporting has been shown to lead to a more resilient and innovative business and positively impact the bottom line. More than that, it often supports in attracting top talent, is important to all of your stakeholders, and is being demanded by investors and regulators.

Increasing regulatory demands from the UK and EU call for a more integrated approach to how companies do business and how they report on sustainability issues.

We can help you navigate the plethora of sustainability standards and support you in determining the issues that are most material to your business. We advise you on how to report against them and effectively weave sustainability into your communications to strengthen your story.
