The challenges our clients ask us to tackle

Below are just a few of the complex challenges we’ve tackled in recent years, and the questions our clients have asked us to help them answer.

But, whatever your organisation’s ambitions, we’ll use our unique perspective to find the most achievable way.

  • Our clients are national and regional charities, and public sector bodies, of all sizes and causes. Some are infrastructure organisations, healthcare trusts or hospices, membership or policy influencing organisations, grant makers, in social care, or in the heritage and culture sector - but whatever their cause, all want to raise more funds, have more influence, and reach more people.

    Here are just a few of the questions we have tackled in recent years - providing strategic board-level guidance, powerful research, practical action plans, and creative communications.

    • What do our audiences know and think of us? And how can we use this insight to inform our plans for the next 12 months?

    • We’re an NHS charity considering a move to independence. Can you help us be confident in our decision making?

    • We have a large remote volunteer team, how can we ensure we are communicating in the ways they need?

    • We don’t know who our potential donors are, what they care about, or how we can inspire them to support us

    • We launched our programme 5 years ago, can you help us turn the impact into a compelling narrative for funders?

    • How can we tell our charity’s story in a more human story-led way, with a robust vision for what we do and why?

    • We’re a cultural centre, how can we inspire more visitors to make a donation while onsite?

    • We need to increase the fees on our membership. How can we do this while not alienating people, and using it as an opportunity to find out more about our members?

  • In recent years, we’ve worked with market leaders in engineering and infrastructure, publishing giants, and corporate foundations. But whatever your area of business, we can help you to use your scale and influence for positive change - both for your own business growth and commercial aims, to engage your internal teams, to influence how your customers think of you, and to affect positive change for your local communities and the wider world.

    Here are just a few of the questions we have tackled in recent years - providing strategic board-level guidance, powerful research, practical action plans, and creative communications.

    • We’re an education publisher, can you help us to work out what our customers need in terms of digital resources? So that we can have the maximum impact

    • We’re a global engineering business. Can you help us articulate our strategic aims in a way that will put our social and environmental impact at the heart of our culture and business growth?

    • How can we engage our staff teams in amplifying our social impact?

    • Can you help us develop plans, activities, and partnerships to underpin our social impact approach?

    • What’s the best way to tell the story of our social impact in our bids and tenders?

    • Can you help us develop a meaningful charity partnership and build a launch campaign?

    • We’re a corporate foundation, what should our grant-making policy be? How can we be sure we are giving support where it ‘s most needed?

  • We work with companies and organisations that exist to solve the challenges of tomorrow. We’ve worked with leaders in green energy, life sciences and healthcare, built environment, sustainable agriculture, manufacturing, and space exploration.

    Whatever your area of service, research, innovation, or breakthrough - we’ll ensure that your stakeholders know about it, understand it, and want to be part of it. 

    Here are just a few of the questions we have tackled in recent years - providing strategic board-level guidance, action plans, and creative communications.

    • Can you help us to articulate what we do into succinct, impactful and inspiring statements?

    • Can you help us work out what our stakeholders care about?

    • What we do is complex and boring to most. Help us translate what we do into engaging and clear communications
