Local government communications

Need communications support from a local government specialist?

We have considerable experience in advising local authorities and related organisations – spanning projects to promote community initiatives, boost the local economy, address council budgetary pressures, engage the community, tackle thorny issues and more.

Our local government track record includes:

• a wide-ranging reputation management assignment for Wokingham Borough Council
• a campaign to support the digital transformation of Mid Sussex
• communications and marketing programmes for local authority-backed regeneration and economic development programmes – like our work in East Sussex
• a campaign for The Design Council to promote support for local authorities to develop design codes to help create attractive, sustainable places
• communications advice for a local authority community arts and culture project
• place marketing – like this campaign for the London Borough of Brent
• communications strategy work to help six West Midlands councils establish a new regional adoption agency
• copywriting Runnymede Borough Council’s 600-page website to translate policy jargon into plain English
• media work to raise the profile of the South East Local Enterprise Partnership
• public consultations for a number of local developments including the contentious issue of Gypsy & Traveller sites
• crisis communications to manage negative issues and community opposition

As you can see from the logos on this page, our clients have included:

• Brent, Dudley Metropolitan Borough, East Sussex County, Hastings Borough, Mid Sussex District, Rother District, Runnymede Borough, Sandwell, Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, Walsall, Wokingham Borough and Wolverhampton City councils
• The South East Local Enterprise Partnership (SELEP) – backed by the local authorities across Essex, Kent and East Sussex – and, before that, the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA)
• Sea Change Sussex – an economic development company operating on behalf of three local authorities and the business community
