expertise surrounded by talent

House is a multi-disciplinary communications consultancy.

We provide strategic, creative and media solutions that are tailor-made for your particular needs.

We have a core hub of experts who are surrounded by a flexible team of specialist talents.

at heart, house is all about relationships

We believe that truly successful communications come out of good relationships and collaborative working, where everyone in the team contributes.

We find that great things happen when your knowledge and vision combines with our communications experience and expertise.

Together, we are greater and more powerful than the sum of our talents.

the house process

We always begin by analysing and researching your real needs, and deciding together what are the most appropriate solutions.

We then set about building and managing a bespoke team to deliver those solutions.

You might simply need strategic analysis and advice. Or you might be looking for more complete solutions to create and implement a new brand identity, or to deliver fresh messaging across a wide range of media. This might include print, online, social media, traditional and web advertising, and internal communications.

We strive to keep things simple, with a nimble process that’s responsive and light on its feet. By delivering tailor-made solutions through custom-built teams, we make sure no part of the project is excess to needs. That helps safeguard your budget and timeline.

We focus our efforts through our own integrated four-part process called 4i.

our insight team

We have worked closely together for over 10 years on almost every imaginable kind of project. This has allowed us to develop an efficiency of thinking which has been nurtured over time and expanded through shared experience.
