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 should not stop at publication. This sprint turns one published output into clear, usable communications that can reach stakeholders, funders, and public audiences.

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

 

You leave with a clear communications foundation your team can use immediately, written in language that works for stakeholders and public audiences, not only academic readers.

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 your project has a visible, organised communications presence from the start and nothing depends on one person knowing the password.

Retainer · From £800/month

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

 

You get consistent monthly communications support and a documented record of activity you can reference in funder reports, stakeholder updates, and impact submissions.

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

Strategic Retainer · From £2,000/month

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

 

You get strategic direction, not just content, with reporting that shows what is working, what needs attention, and what to do next.

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