BUILD. LEVERAGE. DEFEND. BANK

Global communications and reputation firm with a unique focus on advanced AI technology, geopolitics and intelligence.

We commit our global reach, technology, and expertise to help organisations build, leverage and defend their reputations.

We are in a profoundly changed world-political landscape. Organisations can no longer assume positive intent, and decisions, relationships, or public statements may be interpreted through the most hostile available lens. That changes how reputations are built, leveraged and defended.

    Corporate & Public Affairs

    We build clients’ standing with the audiences that matter and defend them against adversarial campaigns using experience, intelligence and technology.

    Creative & Content

    We make campaigns, content and platforms that command attention, establish authority and create opportunity.

  • Intelligence & Technology

    We detect threats, investigate the actors behind them and build AI tools that give clients an earlier, clearer view.

    Advisory & Leverage

    We advise on difficult decisions and put our networks to work on market entry, partnerships and special situations.

Our four practice areas work together around a client’s reputation. We combine communications, creative work, intelligence, technology and senior counsel with global relationships and specialist operators. Each assignment draws on the capabilities needed to achieve four objectives.

  • Build - establish the positioning, identity, platforms and relationships that give an organisation or principal recognition, credibility and authority.

  • Leverage - put that standing to work: gain institutional access, enter markets, secure partnerships and pursue opportunities that depend on trust and influence.

  • Defend - identify threats, investigate adversaries and counter hostile campaigns using intelligence, communications, technology and direct intervention.

  • Bank - assess what reputation is worth, price the commercial opportunities it creates and help clients secure and measure the value it delivers.
