Strategic communications & reputation advisory

Quiet counsel.
Clear direction.
Stronger reputation.

Claire Pitman, strategic communications adviser

For leaders and organisations navigating consequential moments.

Discover Runa

The name

In Old Norse, Runa means a confidante — someone trusted with what matters.

That idea sits at the heart of our work. We advise leaders when the path is not obvious, the stakes are high and every word carries weight.

Thoughtful and independent, we bring perspective to complexity — helping organisations act with clarity and communicate with conviction.

What we do

Counsel for moments that shape what comes next.

01

Strategic communications

Communication strategies grounded in organisational purpose, commercial reality and the world outside.

02

Reputation advisory

Clear-eyed counsel to understand, protect and strengthen the reputation that matters to your organisation.

03

Issues and crisis counsel

Calm, experienced support before, during and after the moments when judgement matters most.

04

Leadership and change

Helping leaders communicate with conviction through transformation, transition and uncertainty.

How we work

Close enough to understand.
Clear enough to challenge.

  1. 01

    Listen closely

    We begin by understanding the whole picture — the context, the people and what is left unsaid.

  2. 02

    Find the signal

    We separate what matters from what merely makes noise, bringing the real issue into focus.

  3. 03

    Set a clear course

    We turn complexity into practical direction, then stay close as decisions become action.

The difference

Senior attention.
Independent thinking.
No theatre.
