Why Choose us?

Different We aren't your average research focused training group. In fact we exist mostly because we got cheesed off with the way research is communicated most of the time.

We don’t want boring lectures, or dull as dishwater public engagement. That’s what everyone does. We want you to stand out. To get your ideas across in a memorable and impactful way, and above all enjoy talking about what you do.

Experienced Between us we have over two decades of experience training communicators. We have worked with hundreds of researchers, across nearly every discipline and know the pressures, culture and problems of academia.

Happy clients
