Challenge
We currently advise BRE on its media and political engagement strategies, helping the organisation strengthen its relationships with influential stakeholders and cement its reputation as a world-leader in science and research in the built environment.

Approach
We have worked with BRE to develop a thought leadership programme to help the organisation demonstrate its expertise – particularly in areas of housing and building efficiency – to a broader audience. Most recently this has involved launching BRE’s latest reports: Decarbonising heat in Britain’s buildings which outlines strategies for policymakers to better decarbonise Britain’s buildings; and The Cost of Poor Housing in England by tenure which quantifies the impact of substandard housing on the NHS. For both reports we developed a targeted engagement programme with national and trade media, Westminster, influential think tanks, and industry experts.
