Hornbeam & Co. is an impact accelerator, providing strategic counsel and communication services to the innovators creating a sustainable future.
Our practice bridges the gap between creativity and science, emotion and fact, creating hybrid approaches that inspire essential action around the world.
We make the complex understandable, motivating and desirable to achieve your environmental, social and commercial goals.
We work with the people who can’t afford to be misunderstood; the people under pressure to bring about the changes our world needs to thrive. We use decades of communications experience in culture, consumer and environmental spaces to simplify the complex and make the overwhelming relatable, creating the impact needed to bring about lasting positive change.
Founders, CEOs, Philanthropists, Activists, Governments, Scientists, Architects and Musicians have all benefitted from our strategic counsel and communications guidance, turning their boldest ideas into culturally-resonant, purpose-driven strategies which inspire community and commercial action through powerful, human-centred communications.

Combined with our broad experience and unique worldview, our time together delivers bold impact strategies, facilitates workshops, defines communications plans, establishes brand / cause positioning guides, trains your team, ignites campaigns and secures necessary funding to catalyse long-lasting change. Our guidance can strengthen your team, focus your mission and raise the operational effectiveness or investability of your organisation.
How We Do It
As individuals, we’ve built careers on making people care. We’ve created and delivered events for the music television channel Dire Straits wanted, shown royalty the potential of their Kingdom, made electric vehicle charging exciting, united brand portfolios to outsmart big-budget competitors, managed communications for an iconic red-tailed airline, secured sponsorship for London’s public bicycle network scheme and even driven the global success of one of Britain’s biggest bands.
As a team, we’re committed to doing good things with good people, promoting a positive future everyone can benefit from. We’ve already helped to reduce the stigma around male suicide, empowered communities to demand economic prosperity from their oceans and given their governments the confidence to make the big changes needed to do so; and there’s so much more ahead.
