Corporate Affairs is our market

Corporate Communications, Public Affairs, Investor Relations and Marketing are changing. Functions are converging, expectations are rising and remits are becoming broader and more demanding.

Appointing leaders in this market demands more than access to candidates. It requires a robust understanding of which experience is truly relevant to the mandate, which individuals are most likely to succeed in a particular organisation, and how the market is evolving.

This is where our expertise lies.

Specialist by design

Corporate Affairs is too complex to assess from a distance. The demands placed on a Chief Corporate Affairs Officer differ significantly from those facing a Head of Investor Relations, just as Public Affairs leadership requires a different blend of skills and experience from senior Marketing or Corporate Communications roles.

Our consultants understand these distinctions through decades of experience in the market. Many have themselves worked in Communications, Marketing and adjacent functions.

This allows us to understand and interrogate briefs quickly, and assess candidates beyond the evidence of the CV alone.

International reach. Personal advice.

Our work is international; our approach remains personal. Through Taylor Birchwood, Heyman Associates, Barber Search and Temple Search, we have direct access to relevant markets and senior leaders in London, Dubai, Hong Kong, New York and San Francisco.

The result is the market insight of a specialist search boutique combined with international reach of a global network.
