Work with us
How engagements begin, and what you should expect from us.
We take on a limited number of mandates. That allows senior involvement on every one and honest advice about whether we are the right firm.
The process
- 01
Initial conversation
A confidential discussion of the situation, the decision at stake and the timeline. No obligation, no pitch deck.
- 02
Diagnostic
A short, paid assessment where the picture is unclear — stakeholder mapping, reputational audit or policy landscape review.
- 03
Proposal and scope
A written scope with defined objectives, workstreams, team, timeline and commercial terms.
- 04
Engagement
Delivery against the agreed scope, with a named lead adviser and structured reporting to your board or executive.
- 05
Review
Assessment against the outcomes we set at the start — the decision, the standing, the risk — not activity volume.
Engagement models
Retained advisory
Continuous counsel and monitoring for organisations with sustained policy or reputational exposure.
Project engagement
A defined mandate with a fixed scope — a submission, a campaign, a repositioning, a launch.
Crisis response
Rapid mobilisation when an incident is live, including out-of-hours availability.
Training and capability
Media, spokesperson, crisis simulation and stakeholder engagement programmes for your team.
Who we work with
Corporates in regulated and public-facing sectors; government bodies and public institutions; development organisations and foundations; associations and coalitions; and individual leaders with a public profile to build or protect. We take instructions from Nigeria and internationally.
We decline mandates where the objective is to obscure conduct rather than address it. That boundary is what makes our advocacy credible for everyone else.
Before you get in touch
It helps to know the decision at stake, the audiences that matter and the timeline you are working to. If you do not have that yet, say so — establishing it is often the first piece of work.
Discuss an engagement in confidence
Tell us what you are facing. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right firm for it, and what a first phase would look like.
