There are too many light touch, tick-box engagement companies and consultants that don’t do comprehensive engagement that delivers valuable insights. It’s hard and time consuming, which is why so many people cut corners. But good engagement isn’t a nice to have option. It's essential.

For us, it’s about talking to a broad range of people and actively seeking those who don’t want to attend drop-in events or fill out online surveys. That’s why we work unsociable hours, venture into forgotten neighbourhoods and go into schools across the country to ask young people what they want.

Taking the conversation to people and meeting them on their own terms isn’t easy – there are many difficult conversations to be had - but it's the only way to win hearts and minds. It means we achieve high engagement levels and often discover obvious, yet seemingly unknown truths and information to decision makers.Item description
