Experience Across Multiple Sectors

While we are adaptable to virtually any sector, we have particular expertise in three core areas…

Specialism + Flexibility

Stearns Impact is equipped to help across almost every sector, with particular expertise in the following areas:

Regeneration & Urban Development

Our founder, Ed Stearns, was part of the executive team at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park that revolutionised east London’s landscape, establishing it as a beacon of growth, quality development, and impact. As the UK enters a significant period of construction and regeneration, we bring proven experience to projects of all sizes. Whether a major urban renewal or a smaller development initiative, we can help articulate your project’s context, impact, and legacy – positive and negative.

Sports, Culture & Major Events

When London bid for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the legacy was at the heart of the proposal. Drawing from this success, we offer expertise in creating impactful legacy strategies for international events. Our experience spans various high-profile projects, from royal events to major international sports, ensuring your event’s communications and legacy are well-planned and executed.

Safety, Security & Law Enforcement

With experience working with the UK’s largest police force, we understand the complexities of crisis communication. We developed a new approach to crisis communications that was successfully deployed during critical incidents such as the Westminster and London Bridge terrorist attacks. Our team has extensive experience in delivering communications that ensure safety and security, while also managing public trust in times of crisis.
