Our values tell you who we are

They're our promise to our clients, our suppliers, and our colleagues.

Telling it straight

  • We do the right thing, even when it's the hard thing.
  • We don't shy away from telling the truth, even when we know it'll be hard to hear.
  • We ask questions, we challenge, we offer up solutions, we explore new approaches.
  • We're authentic in our feedback. But everything we say or do comes from a place of good intent.

We're all in

  • If we're going to go far, we need to go together
  • We're an extension of our clients' teams and we want to understand the business inside out
  • We don't wait to be asked. We're always looking for ways to add value
  • Success takes teamwork - we need to trust, listen, and support each other.

Results over ego

  • When we make mistakes, we admit them and learn from them.
  • We don't over-promise and under-deliver
  • We focus on the end goal - helping our clients and their business grow through influential and effective communications
  • When our clients succeed, so do we.

Strategy first

  • We love a bit of planning. Often the act of planning is more important than the plan itself.
  • We like to know where we're going, how we'll get there, and how we'll measure success.
  • We've got nothing to hide - we'll always be open about budget, timeline, and deliverables.

Question everything

  • Our ideas are a combination of the intuitive and the imagination.
  • We grow through learning - we are curious and have a thirst for knowledge
  • No matter the question, we'll challenge ourselves to come up with a new answer.
  • We love tapping into the collective wisdom of the crowd.

Outcomes only

  • We charge for outcomes, not output.
  • When you pay us, you're paying for our years of experience.
  • We don't churn things out and we don't work to a template.
  • If we think someone else should do the job, we'll let you know.

Ilona Tofahrn-Flint

Ilona has over 15 years’ design experience working for both multi-national companies and agencies in London.

From designing magazines, to logo and branding, to communications materials and presentations – whatever the brief, Ilona relishes a challenge. She always offers a different view, introducing fresh ideas and novel design solutions that elevate any project she works on.

Although originally from Germany, she is proud to have lived in the UK long enough to call herself an English Rose! Ilona hates clip art and comic sans (who doesn’t? 😊)

A true word nerd, she combines strategy with creativity to develop messages and content that engage audiences across industries.

Laura Hurst

Having cut her teeth in the print industry (and has the paper cuts to prove it), Laura now has over twelve years' experience as a graphic designer, with a focus on branding and publication design.

Laura combines professionalism with fun and creativity, and loves drawing inspiration from the world around her. Her favourite part of the design process is getting to know the client, deeply understanding their needs and motivations. This, she believes, is the basis of great design.

Outside of work Laura can be found pursuing quite a few different hobbies, including knitting, painting and most recently, rollerskating.

Amanda Pierce

Amanda is a senior communications and change advisor with extensive experience working alongside high-profile leaders and organisations on strategy, reputation, and decision-making. She has held senior leadership roles both in consultancy and in-house, including as UK CEO of Burson-Marsteller.

Amanda is particularly trusted for her judgement and ability to cut through complexity - she is known for one of the best “sniff tests” in the business. She takes a calm, considered approach to situations, particularly those which are sensitive, fast-moving, or ambiguous.

She has worked across a wide range of sectors including healthcare, food, natural resources, and manufacturing – often in environments shaped by regulation, public opinion, and competing stakeholder expectations. She understands that progress depends not only on strong strategy, but also on how people feel informed, involved, and confident in their role.

A scientist by training, Amanda values evidence as well as emotion when it comes to communicating. She is known as a trusted sounding board who can help leaders think clearly, act decisively, and lead with confidence.

Imogen Hitchcock MCIPR

Imogen is a senior communications consultant who has spent her career helping individuals, teams, and organisations navigate complex change - transforming strategy into stories that inspire, engage, and motivate.

Not one to shy away from asking the tough questions, she combines curiosity with a strong focus on outcomes. Imogen believes in the power of “normal not formal” language: clear, simple communication, free from corporate jargon. She thrives when elevating the mundane, the technical, or the difficult into content that’s influential, powerful, and human.

Imogen has experience across the public and private sectors in high-profile and fast-paced environments where clarity, credibility, and agility matter. She supports and coaches leaders and practitioners to develop well-defined narratives that build confidence, aid decision making, and drive action. She cares deeply about fairness, transparency, and helping others to feel part of the process.

She loves cheese, wonderful writing, rugby, and the Archers.
