Our Services

Policymaking and advocacy is highly context dependent, so our work is rarely 'off the shelf'. Whatever your policy and advocacy needs, the team is here to help build a bespoke package of support.

Below are just some of the services we offered in the past, as well as the sectors and themes we're covering at the moment. We hope this gives you an idea of the kind of work we might be able to do together.

Research

We ensure our clients and partners are up to date with the most pressing issues of the day. We conduct consultancy research, drawing on a large network of leading researchers covering a wide range of subjects pertinent to the creative and cultural sectors. We blend quantitative (the ‘numbers’) and qualitative (the ‘the human’) primary and secondary research methods to investigate areas of interest.

Policy

We advise our clients and partners on policy, regulatory and political developments to help them design effective programmes, make sound investments and position their activities with decision makers for maximum impact. We specialise in co-designing policy that is evidence-informed, impactful and implementable by the decision makers in the driving seat.

Advocacy

We help our clients and partners get their work noticed. We map key influencers and convene the right people for moments of planned advocacy. We lead campaigns - from soft ‘closed-door’ to high profile narrative changing work. We increasingly collaborate with artists working across the creative and cultural sectors to communicate policy in new and innovative ways.

Workstreams

Place

We're working with local authorities, Metro Mayors and national policy makers to shape local and national narratives around the role of culture and creativity in different communities and places.
