We know the power of a well told story

Whether you need calm guidance through a crisis, a bold campaign that grabs attention, or strategic advice rooted in government experience, we’ll help you find the right words at the right time.

Government-Level Experience

Our team brings over a decade of senior government communications experience, including at the very centre of decision-making in the Deputy Prime Minister’s Office during the coalition years.

Our team have helped shape and launch policies that reached millions – like the introduction of free school meals and the pupil premium – showing how effective communications can make policy meaningful to real lives.

That grounding means we understand high-pressure environments, political complexity, and the need to deliver clarity where it matters most. When you work with us, you benefit from experience built in the corridors of power.

We’ve also shared communications best practice with Prime Ministers’ offices in Lebanon and Jordan, helping them strengthen their national narratives and build trusted communications systems. We know how to adapt messages for different audiences while keeping your objectives at the heart.

CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS

At Harding-Lee Media, we know the power of a well-told story. When a crisis hits, every word, image, and action matters. Our team provides calm, strategic guidance to help you navigate challenging moments with clarity and confidence.

From crafting rapid responses and managing media scrutiny to rebuilding trust and reputation in the aftermath, we’re by your side every step of the way. Drawing on years of experience in government, media, and the charity sector, we understand how to balance transparency with control, ensuring your message is authentic, measured, and effective.

Whether you need an immediate plan to manage breaking news, a proactive crisis communications strategy, or a bold campaign that reframes the narrative, Harding-Lee Media will help you find the right words at the right time and turn challenges into opportunities for renewed trust.

Campaigns & proactive press

Not all PR is about firefighting – proactive work is just as important. We’ve built campaigns that inspire, shift opinion, and create real engagement. Our approach is about uncovering the human story at the centre of your work and telling it in a way that sticks.

Whether you’re launching a new initiative, repositioning your organisation, or building long-term support, we’ll help you connect with the audiences who matter most.

One of our proudest areas of work is in rewilding, conservation, and wildlife. We’ve led campaigns that captured global attention, from the story of groundbreaking bear surgery to the launch of the first bison in the wild project in the UK.

These weren’t just headlines – they were moments that built public support for ambitious, world-leading projects. If you’re looking to bring your conservation or sustainability story to life, we know how to frame it so it resonates far beyond your immediate sector.
