Tailored Strategies to Meet Your Needs
We start by understanding your specific challenges and goals. From there, we leverage our skills and extensive experience to develop a way forward that suits your needs.
While our expertise spans many areas, below are some key areas of focus that drive our work…
Impact and Legacy
Create and measure the impact of your business, event, or project.
Leadership Communication
Effective communication is the backbone of strong leadership.
Writing and Content Strategy
Transforming complex ideas into compelling narratives that engage.
Cyber Crisis Training

Reputation Management
Building trust and aligning actions with your core values is fundamental to success. Whether proactively crafting your narrative or preparing for unexpected crises, we help you define your story, earn credibility, and manage challenges. Our approach ensures that your reputation remains strong, no matter the situation.
Impact and Legacy
Ed Stearns, our founder, was on the executive team tasked with securing the legacy of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The lasting impact of the Games not only transformed the UK’s sporting landscape but also revitalised east London with world-class regeneration that has local communities at its heart. We use this experience to help you create and measure the impact of your business, event, or project—aligning it with both business and social responsibility goals.
Leadership Communication
Effective communication is the backbone of strong leadership. From senior executives to leaders in government and charities, we provide advice, coaching, and strategy development to ensure leaders’ actions and messages are aligned, clear, and impactful, inside and outside of their organisations.
Writing and Content Creation
In an age dominated by AI-driven content, it’s crucial to remember that every piece of communication is ultimately for a human audience. We specialise in transforming complex ideas into compelling reports, social copy, and narratives that engage and resonate with your audience.
Cyber Crisis Training
Cyber attacks are rising in both frequency and sophistication, with the ability to cripple organisations large and small. Clear, timely, and credible communication maintains trust, demonstrates competence under pressure, and protects reputation.

Have I Been Recruited To The Green Ink Army?

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.
