New Year, New Launch

If we really wanted to complicate our lives and launch a new calendar, then September would be the front runner as the month that kicks off the new year.

Happy New Year…

No offence to January, which enjoys a media profile of being dry (no alcohol). To me, September has the advantage of offering a post summer burst of energy; a contrast to the January PR campaign which appears to be all about getting over a Christmas hangover.

So, I’m delighted to use September and the ‘New Year’ to officially announce the launch of Stearns Impact.

The eagle-eyed will have spotted that this website has been up and running for a few months. During that time, I’ve been laying the foundations and am already working on some fantastic projects. What I haven’t done (until now) is formally introduce the company—don’t worry, no warm white wine or vol-au-vents, there will be no painful launch party.

Why Stearns Impact?

Communications is at the heart of what I do, but today’s challenges, and advances (I won’t mention AI again) demand more than traditional PR. The leaders and organisations I’ve worked with—spanning politics, media, culture, regeneration, sport, and more—have one thing in common: they want to demonstrate real impact. Strategy, measurement, communicating— and that is what I bring as the offer.

Through Stearns Impact, I provide:

Reputation and PR strategy
Leadership communications and training
Stakeholder engagement
Strategic legacy planning
Content strategy and creation
… and more.

Reputation Management

Building trust and aligning actions with your core values.

While the company is led by me and I will be doing the doing, I collaborate, when required, with a trusted network of professionals across multiple sectors, bringing in the right expertise to tackle challenges large and small.

Have a look around the website to get more information on what we do.

If you’re navigating a challenge or looking at an opportunity—whether you need a few hours of advice or long-term support or are a bit unsure about what it is you might need—please get in touch at ed@stearnsimpact.com. And if I can’t help, I’ll happily point you in the right direction.

Here’s to fresh starts and meaningful impact. Happy New Year (in September)!
