How we work together

Whether you need one output turned around quickly or a full communications system built from scratch, there is an engagement designed for where you are right now.
Every service is built around the same goal: research and evidence that reaches the people it was made for.

Prices are starting points and vary by scope, outputs, and timelines.

Sprint · From £950

Who this is for

You have published findings and need research dissemination support that gets them in front of the right audiences. You know your research matters, but it is sitting in a journal that your stakeholders, funders, or community audiences will never read. You need it out in the world, now.

Timescale: 1 to 2 weeks

What you walk away with
  • Plain-language article for public audiences

  • One-page key findings brief (PDF)

  • 5-post social media campaign (ready to publish)

 

Your research has a life beyond the journal. Research storytelling that works across formats, from a one-page brief to a five-post social media campaign. Your findings should stop sitting in a PDF and start reaching people.

 

Outcome: The difference between research that gets cited and research that gets used.

Launch · From £1,500

Who this is for

Your project has funding, and activity is underway, but your public engagement communications have not started, and the pressure is building. Funders are asking questions. Stakeholders need updates. You are delivering good work, but nobody outside your team knows it.

Timescale: 2 to 4 weeks

What you walk away with
  • Core messages written for stakeholder and public audiences

  • Stakeholder email templates

  • Refreshed SEO-optimised web copy

  • Practical social media plan

 

A clear communications foundation that your whole team can work from immediately. Written in language that resonates with stakeholders and public audiences, not academic language that loses people.

 

Outcome: You stop communicating reactively and start communicating with intention.

Build · From £5,500

Who this is for

You have just been funded. Now the pressure starts. You need a communications presence, the right channels set up properly, and launch-ready content before the project hits its first milestone. Your team cannot do this alongside the research itself.

Timescale: 4 to 8 weeks · Third-party platform costs charged separately

What you walk away with
  • Project website live and launch-ready

  • Social channels set up securely and ready to publish

  • Core messages written for every audience

  • Web and social media content templates for ongoing use

  • Password and access documentation handed over to your team

 

Everything is documented and handed over so nothing depends on one person knowing the password.

 

Outcome: When funders ask for evidence of public engagement, you have it. When stakeholders want to understand your project, you have somewhere to send them.

Retainer · From £800/month

Consistent monthly delivery for organisations that need regular visibility but no full-time hire.

Who this is for

Your organisation produces evidence, reports, or programme learning regularly, but communications keep slipping to the bottom of the list. You need consistent, reliable support from someone who understands research, storytelling and public engagement and can turn your outputs into content month after month.

Monthly · Invoiced in advance

What you walk away with
  • Newsletter (1)

  • Social posts (4 to 8)

  • Insight piece or blog (1)

  • Short monthly reporting note

 

A documented record of communications activity you can reference in funder reports and impact submissions. 

 

Outcome: Your organisation stays visible, stays credible, and never goes quiet between funding cycles.

Strategic Retainer · From £2,000/month

For programmes where communication is part of delivery, not an add-on.

Who this is for

You are running a complex programme with multiple workstreams, stakeholders, and deadlines pulling in different directions. You need a partner who understands research storytelling and public engagement as well as they understand delivery.

Monthly · Invoiced in advance

What you walk away with
  • Monthly communications strategy and planning call

  • Rolling priorities and communications calendar

  • Stakeholder and funder-facing content support

  • Campaign planning and coordination

  • Monthly reporting and recommendations

 

Strategic direction, not just content. Reporting that shows what is working and what to do next.

 

Outcome: You stop firefighting communications and start leading with them.
