Founded by veteran brand-building strategic communicators committed to accelerating positive change.
After a collective six decades in advertising, marketing, events, PR, communications and media, two friends and former colleagues came together behind one shared passion; to use their ability to create desire for consumer products and experiences to accelerate the causes and innovations they care about, and that communities around the globe will benefit from.
Our expertise humanises and simplifies the complex to make the distant and abstract relatable, mobilising support for the building blocks of a regenerative, equitable future we all deserve.
Our Impact
We’ve worked with some of the world’s biggest brands across almost every continent to shape culture, raise profiles, boost revenue and secure advocacy, being awarded numerous Travel Marketing, Travel+Leisure and PRWeek awards along the way. There’s a Cannes Silver Lion in the collective trophy cabinet, too.

What Our Clients Say
Anthony Montalto, AIA,
Chief Design Officer, Partner,
HKS Architects, Inc.
I have now worked with Hornbeam & Co. on two major international architectural pursuits.
We needed a team that would seamlessly integrate into our process and that would elevate the conversation around and depth of our vision.
In almost 30 years in the industry, I have not met anyone of the caliber of the team over at Hornbeam.
Bottom line; they made our end product better!”
Ted Waitt,
Founder and Chairman,
The Waitt Foundation.
Our team works across the globe to protect and replenish the ocean as well as creating the potential to create greater economic and local prosperity for big ocean states.
We partnered with Hornbeam & Co. to help us better share the complex what, how and why of our vision; a vital part in engaging key audiences, whether a political leader or a fisherman.
The insights and understanding they brought of such complex audiences were invaluable to our programs.
Dr Kathryn Mengerink,
Executive Director,
The Waitt Institute.
Working with Hornbeam & Co. gave us the ability to simplify our story into straight-forward, effective communications that adapted to changing situations across our programs.
The Hornbeam & Co. team allowed us to take a step back and align our efforts to truly have meaningful impact in achieving ocean sustainability through Marine Spatial Planning, Sustainable Fishing and Blue Economies around the globe.
