• Narrative development

• Narrative clarity workshops

• Messaging architecture

Senior communications leadership, without the full-time hire.

There comes a point when communications can no longer sit with an agency or a junior team. You need someone at the top table who can own the brief and shape decisions rather than react to them.

A fractional Head of Communications & Public Affairs gives you that seniority on an agreed number of days each month. We embed with your leadership team and hold the brief as your Head of Communications and Public Affairs, setting the strategy and providing senior counsel when it matters.

What holding the brief means

• The role sits on your senior leadership team

• It attends board meetings and advises trustees or directors directly

• It appears in your structure as Head of Communications and Public Affairs

• It speaks to media and stakeholders in your name where that is the right call

Who this is for

• Organisations in growth or transition that need seasoned leadership before committing to a permanent hire

• Founder and executive-led teams where communications has outgrown ad hoc support

• Organisations building a credible policy voice for the first time

• Arts and cultural organisations facing funding or reputational pressure

What it covers

• Communications and public affairs strategy, owned end to end

• Reputation and issues management, including board and executive counsel

• Stakeholder and political engagement, from mapping through to sustained relationships

• Media relations and spokesperson development

• Building or restructuring an in-house function, including hiring and mentoring

• Leading internal teams and coordinating external agencies and specialists

• Representing the organisation externally where a senior voice adds value

How it works

We agree the scope and the rhythm upfront. Most engagements run at three to four days a month on a rolling basis, with a minimum three-month term.

If you need senior communications leadership without the full-time hire, let's talk.
