Our Services

  • With first hand experience in Whitehall, Westminster, and beyond, we provide strategic counsel and craft insightful campaigns.

    Whether you're a blue-chip organisation seeking to navigate regulatory challenges, a not-for-profit advocating for social change, or a startup looking to enhance your reputation, we're here to help.

    The old adage “If you don’t have a seat at the table, you’re likely to be on the menu” has never rung more true in today’s landscape.

    Trust us to navigate reputational and regulatory hurdles with a nuanced grasp of the ever-changing political terrain.

  • There is a saying - “the worst time to make friends is when you need them”. We wholeheartedly believe this and our unrivalled network helps our clients get a seat at the table with the stakeholders that natter most to them.

    Having a long term strategic vision is paramount to the success of any business. Knowing who to ask, what to say and understanding how stakeholders interact with each other are all key aspects of achieving this.

  • In an increasingly competitive market it is more crucial than ever for businesses to capture their audience's attention.

    We leverage media, policy, communities, networks and digital channels to craft impactful campaigns that shape the narrative and bring about meaningful change.

    At Northpoint Strategy we specialise in crafting integrated campaigns by evaluating your brand’s identity, values and goals. We work closely with you to understand your target audience, market dynamics, and competitors - developing and implementing campaigns that leave their mark.

  • As Warren Buffett put it, “it takes twenty years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it”.

    A modern day corporate communications strategy demands a blend of insight, creativity, empathy, and timing to truly resonate in our diverse, multi-channelled environment.

    At NorthPoint Strategy, we excel in amplifying your voice and building your credibility. From crisis management to media management, we are here to ensure your message lands effectively with those that matter.

Their sound political judgement and truly personal service has advanced our policy objectives, reputation and relationships with those that matter to us in Westminster and Whitehall.”
