We’re Shape History, the impact-first communications agency built for a world where the battle for attention is fierce and real change is harder to achieve than ever.
We use research, strategy, and creativity to build a fairer world faster and deliver impact that lasts for people, organisations, and society.
B Corp Certified. Independent. Global.
We uncover what others miss about your audiences, your landscape, and your organisation. Then we define where the real challenges and opportunities lie, and build the strategic roadmap that follows.
We design communications that meet your audience where they are, guide their behaviour, and win powerholders on side. From advocacy strategy to bold creative campaigns, we transform standalone ideas into a dynamic ecosystem of influence.
In a crowded sector where funding isn’t a given, we believe fearless, distinctive thinking is a must. We give your donors and partners a reason to take note of and buy into your message, including tailoring high-stakes funder propositions to unlock the investment you need.
What we mean by “impact-first”
We measure success by one metric and one metric alone: the change we help you create.
Our work is always in service to this principle. You could hang it in the Louvre, but we aren’t satisfied unless it’s capturing hearts and changing minds. Whether in terms of funding, behaviour, policy, engagement, or public support, every piece of work has to move the needle for it to get our seal of approval.
