International Advisory

Our view is that insightful actions that drive reputation impact come from a ‘big picture’ mind-set, nuanced engagement of stakeholders and audiences and specificity of experience in sectors, issues and markets. We are proud to be one of a select group of senior advisors drawn upon by an accomplished New York, American strategic communications and public affairs firm, as part of its growing global roster of corporate affairs experts. The relationship gives UK and EMEA clients a bridge to the US and access to a bench of NY experts, and offers US clients access to additional deep international expertise from London.
