The Grey Fox guide to choosing a communications consultant

Whether it’s reorganisation, transformations or funding changes; no matter what sector you’re working in, times are tough.

It’s the job of every communications team to meet these challenges head on, ensuring service users, customers and staff not only understand the implications, but know how to action and engage with them.

Yet, just like any puzzle things often become a whole lot clearer when looked at with fresh eyes, and that’s where a communications consultant comes in.

Ben from Grey Fox did absolutely brilliant work in helping us to develop our strategy.

It was such a fabulous process and working with him has been an absolute pleasure.

I really enjoyed the sessions, his thoughts, guidance and expertise. I learnt a lot from him.

 What does a communications consultant offer?

An extra pair of hands depending on what you need, a communications consultant can help you deal with the day-to-day, as well as offer expert advice, strategic guidance and alternative opinions to all those difficult decisions that need making.

 What are the benefits of hiring a communications consultant?

Partnering with a communications consultant is also a valuable way to transform what you do and how you do it long term, with the impact of their work not ending once a particular project or campaign is complete, but in the strategic legacy they leave behind.
