STRATEGY

Connecting audiences with causes they care about.

We develop integrated strategies that help non-profits raise more money, win campaigns, and extend and enhance their services. Our winning approach starts with finding common purpose between you and your audiences.

WHAT WE OFFER

Framing and narrative

Shifting attitudes or behaviours is a tough brief, demanding forensic insight and single-minded creative. We’ve designed framing strategies for sustainable impact, including in public health, human rights, youth and childhood – in the UK and around the world.

Communications

Effective communication can be central to how any non-profit organisation does its work. We develop integrated communication strategies for our clients, not just to talk about the change they make in the world, but to make change happen.

Fundraising

We develop multi-year fundraising strategies across all disciplines, including mass market, institutional and corporate. Working from the ground up, we’ll analyse your performance and design mixed portfolios to fit your ambition and risk appetite.

Campaigns & Advocacy

Winning campaigns depends, above all, on clarity of purpose, and understanding who holds the power to make the change you seek. Our insight-driven strategies have transformed public policy on both international and domestic issues.

Brand & Creative

Your brand is a distillation of your unique identity and the values you share with your audiences – and should never be cosmetic. We include all the pieces of the puzzle: the proposition, the USPs, the messaging and cut-through creative work.

New product development

All good strategies find expression in new products and tactics. We might create a new community fundraising product, a festival or event, a crowdsourcing campaign – anything that meets an audience need and moves you toward your goals.

OUR WORK IN STRATEGY

We help non-profits from all sectors find their audiences and build strategies around them.

THE FIVE PILLARS

A logical sequence for strategies that work.

It’s easy to get lost in strategy development and discover there are missing pieces of the puzzle. How will you define your audiences if you’re not clear about your purpose? Or how will you develop your brand positioning if you don’t know who you’re trying to engage? Our five pillars will keep your strategy on track and provide a pathway to success.
