Extension of your team
We work with small business and global communication teams to help them navigate all sorts of projects – from rebranding to digital platform rollouts to events we work with the best in the industry to support your team.
When we work as an extension of your team, we operate in the same way. Our associates are there to offer the expertise needed for specific projects and work with you to provide support… whatever you’re being asked to do. While we specialise in communication inside your organisation, we have run global communication functions and our associates are experts in marketing and web design, so we’re able to work with you across the full discipline of PR and communications.
Your bespoke team will depend on your needs; and we can work with you on-site, using your company email address to provide the impression we’re in your team. Whatever you need to deliver, we can do it.
Could our experience benefit your company?
Here are a few ways we’ve helped clients as part of their team:

- Strategically supporting digital change
- Managing internal events – from venue sourcing to content to on-the-day management
- Rebranding with website creation, imagery and marketing assets
- Content creation for intranets and campaigns

Our experience in communication is founded in 32 years as in-house practitioners. As in-house teams we operated as a consultancy, supporting the requirements of functions with events, film, copywriting, imagery and editorial. We managed digital transformation, print channels and campaigns. We worked in small teams, outsourced expertise and managed a variety of budgets.
