Communications Redefined

The go-to consultancy for health, social care and tech organisations that want lasting visibility and impact – delivered by senior experts in PR, marketing and public affairs.

We turn strategy into influence,
and influence into results

Too often, communications comes with a compromise. Big agencies can charge premium fees and often use a team of generalists. While smaller agencies can talk a good game but the senior team aren’t always delivering the work.

We believe expert advice and support from specialists are non-negotiable. And cost shouldn’t be a barrier.

Whether you’re a start-up looking to win your first contract, a scale-up preparing for investment and more market share, or an established brand needing new momentum – we help build and protect reputations, influence decisions, and drive tangible growth outcomes.

No bloated hierarchies. No B-teams. No excessive costs.
Consider us your comms rebels – rewriting the rulebook so your organisation gets cut-through where it counts.
