Communication

Excellent communication is the starting point for achieving efficient, effective influence and impact. It is fundamental to effective relationships within organisations, and between organisations and their audiences.

All communication, from change that challenges people to positive news, has the potential to be received well or badly; if you understand the perspective of your audience and match communications accordingly you can get communication right.

Whether you need to get people on your side or change behaviour, we will work with you to understand your audience, and help you communicate better.

We have years of experience working with clients in high pressured and challenging environments across national and regional government, third sector and health and community-focused organisations.

Campaign design: Developing communication campaign plans and messages that will resonate with target audiences and achieve your objectives.

Our approach

• Good communication is always insight driven. We seek to understand context fully, to produce evidence-based advice and solutions that work for you.
• We know that many organisations are under pressure, and so work around your needs. We can research, review and recommend. We can train and support, or we can implement. Our experienced team can help you in whatever way works best for you.
• We always aim to offer practical means to get better and stay better at communication without the need for ongoing external support.
• Our aim is always to pass on techniques and work with clients to enhance their capacity to deliver from within their own organisations.
