Our Sectors
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.

From DLR to Driving Investment
Last week, travelling from a meeting at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to another in the City, I found myself enjoying public transport with the joy of a seven-year-old—pretending to drive the Docklands Light Railway.
A Cliché for the Records
An old friend of mine—now running one of the UK’s top five sporting events—has a military background and a deep love for a good forces cliché.

Piss Poor Planning Promotes Piss Poor Performance
Have I Been Recruited To The Green Ink Army?
I hadn’t thought about “green ink” letters in over 20 years — but now I fear I’ve spent the last 15 reading them in my spare time… and might have written one myself.
Should I Stay (Awake) Or Should I Go Now?
In the world of crisis management, the textbook answers don’t always work out in the real world. Take the Heathrow Airport power outage that occurred last week.
United With Stands
It may be hundreds of miles from Westminster, but Manchester United’s latest announcement to build a new 100,000-seater stadium feels like a politically savvy move, which could power local regeneration.
