A little bit about Elm

Elm Communications is a strategic communications consultancy based in Canberra. We deliver a wide range of services, from transformational project support and strategic advice to workshop execution and content creation. Our approach is simple – we do what we love.

At Elm, we believe that effective communications adds value to any organisation. When done well, it showcases your strengths, helps navigate challenges, and engages stakeholders. Communication tells your story and influences behaviour, making it crucial to your organisation’s success.

Raising awareness, changing behaviour, or driving action is at the heart of every good program, service and policy. Without evidence-based communication, these efforts often fall short. That’s why we approach every challenge with a strategic communications and behavioural science perspective. People can be unpredictable, and we’re here to help you navigate those challenges with confidence.

Our approach is rooted in professionalism, passion, and commitment. With a unique blend of skills, we work with you as a partner, delivering more than you expect every step of the way.

A well-crafted strategy is the key to solving complex challenges

We believe thoughtful planning and strategic thinking lay the foundations for solving any problem. By integrating behavioural insights into our strategic communications and engagement approach, we ensure our solutions are grounded in real-world evidence, making them more likely to succeed.

Whether we are building a plan, facilitating a workshop, or developing website content, understanding your objectives and audience is crucial. By leveraging multi-disciplinary expertise, we can predict and influence how people respond, reducing the risk of failure or unintended consequences. Our evidence-based approach ensures our strategies lead to meaningful and lasting outcomes.

Providing a fresh perspective

We always bring a fresh perspective and challenge the status quo, but we also respect that there is ‘just the way it works’ in your organisation. We get it. We aren’t your typical consultants. We provide realistic, actionable ideas that suit your environment and deliver best-practice advice, all while working towards your outcome.

We don’t work alone

We believe in bringing together the best expertise to deliver what you need. And we know we aren’t experts at everything. At Elm, we have an extensive network of specialists who we collaborate with to provide an integrated and agile service offering.
