My services.
I work across three connected strategic areas: business and brand strategy, creative strategy, and people and process.
Some clients come with a complex, high-stakes brief; others need help sharpening a proposition, a campaign, or equipping their teams for what’s next. I can support at any of these points; from clarifying direction, to designing communications and marketing, to building the capabilities and ways of working to deliver it.

STEPHEN JOHNSON, FRSA
What sets me apart - and why clients trust me - is the depth and breadth of creative problem-solving I bring from years of leading business, brand and communications strategy.
An integrated view of reputation, brand and marketing.
I’ve worked at the junction of corporate reputation and citizenship, brand, marketing and internal comms for many years. I understand how a single decision lands with employees, customers, regulators, partners, media and communities on and offline, having worked extensively on multi-stakeholder briefs for leading businesses, SMEs and NGOs. I can spot where brand, communications and business or organisational strategy are out of sync, and design approaches that protect reputation and drive growth, without trading one off against the other.
A human-centric, multi-stakeholder thinker with behaviour change expertise.
I understand what makes individuals, teams and communities tick. I connect dots quickly and understand the ‘why’ behind beliefs, perceptions and decisions. I apply this externally to understand the stakeholder, social and cultural landscapes that shape communications; including the creation of purpose-driven campaigns, social and cultural movements. Internally, I can navigate organisational dynamics; balancing different needs so leaders and teams feel heard, aligned and able to contribute. It’s also what helps me create collaborative cultures and establish successful ways of working.
Wired to work where integrity meets inspiration and ambition meets practicality.
Where others see noise, I see patterns, stories and practical routes forward. I’m am adept at research, data and AI, but I use them in service of sharper judgement and better storytelling, not as ends in themselves. I can take a messy, high-stakes brief and turn it into a crisp strategy, clear narrative and creative plans people can implement with confidence; giving clients the power to engage, with reassurance around risk, trust and integrity. I have embedded my approaches into tools, frameworks and processes that have travelled the industry,
‘Top 5’ client/prospect queries
I can help you clarify what you stand for and turn that into credible, differentiated value propositions. Together we can shape reputation, brand and marketing strategies that feel authentic, work across stakeholders and support long-term growth.
“How do we refresh our brand value proposition so we stand out on reputation and ESG without looking fake or out-of-touch?”
“We’re drowning in data and are starting to apply AI – how do we use it to make better decisions?”
I turn research, data and AI outputs into clear audience, stakeholder and cultural insight you can actually use. We’ll focus on what matters, identify behaviour and culture signals, and build communications decisions on evidence rather than noise.
“Our comms are all over the place – how do we join everything up?”
I help you connect internal, reputation and marketing activity into one simple, integrated plan. We’ll define a clear story and messages, priorities, KPIs and ways of working so everyone knows what they’re doing, why it matters and how success will be measured.
I work with leaders and teams to design communications and campaign strategies that cut through without creating unnecessary risk. From framing and messaging to audiences, channels and guardrails, we’ll shape a plan you can stand behind under scrutiny
“We’ve got a big moment coming – how do we be bold and safe?”
I run workshops, coaching and co-design sessions to build strategic and creative confidence in comms and marketing teams. Together we’ll create simple tools, processes and habits make collaboration easier and help people do their best work.
“Our team is overwhelmed by change and AI – can you help build their confidence?”
