Who we are
56˚ North is an independent communications consultancy based in Edinburgh, London and the North of England. We are experts in strategic communications, public affairs and campaigns, led by a team that has been at the forefront of change in business, media and politics for over 25 years.
Understanding Business
Our brand new quarterly survey of Scottish businesses commissioned in partnership with research group Diffley Partnership.
Surveying more than 500 businesses from every local authority in Scotland, our latest report found that businesses support net zero aims but don’t believe stopping North Sea exploration is good for the economy.
Strategy
Using our insights, knowledge and experience, we help organisations see beyond short-term disruption, to deliver strategic communications approaches that produce long-term corporate and commercial value.
Communications
We believe passionately in the power of persuasive, evidenced-based communications to help companies grow their business, enhance their reputation and influence positive change.
Campaigns
Whether trying to build a reputation, engage in a debate or secure a better operating environment, we help companies create compelling stories and build persuasive campaigns that connect with the people who matter most and deliver value over the long-term.
