ABOUT

The knowledge generated from research often has the potential to spark change: to shape policy, inform decision-making and bring crucial issues to light.

To do so, it needs to tell a clear story, reach the right stakeholders, and engage their attention.

We transform academic insights into stories and public engagement strategies that have impact.


We work collaboratively with researchers to translate complex findings into formats that reach beyond academia.

This process is not one-size-fits-all.

We bring a nuanced approach to communications, combining a deep understanding of academic work with the creative tools needed to make it accessible and relevant.

About THE FOUNDER

I am a creative director and communications consultant with 9 years’ experience - with non-profits, research projects, advocacy campaigns and in the creative industries.

Impactful communication goes beyond simply disseminating information. It’s about more than having a social media account or publishing a blog post.

It requires creativity, intention and a deep understanding of both the message and the audience. It also requires time - a resource that is often in short supply for academics and researchers.

I founded IGC to bridge the gap between academia and the spaces and structures it seeks to impact.

Drawing on my blend of expertise in research, communications, and creative storytelling, I craft public engagement strategies and pieces that allow research to resonate beyond academia.

Then I work with my trusted and talented network of graphic designers, filmmakers, web developers and creatives to bring them to life.
