We create real impact

Whatever you're building, we're here to tell your story, grow your influence and enhance your reputation. We first ask, “What do you want to achieve?” And from there create a strategy that will really move the dial for you and your company. Our team has decades of experience and where far larger firms fall short, we hustle to get you the results you expect. We are a boutique firm and you will always only have senior leaders working directly for you. That’s our promise: quality over quantity, results over endless reports.

  • We align your communications strategy directly with your sales and business goals. We build your reputation, and from the get-go develop your core narratives in the media, building case studies and story telling that drive sales and ensure valuable PR enhances fundraising objectives as you approach Series A and beyond.

  • We curate invite-only roundtables and events, designed to connect you directly with key players in our capital, founder and media networks. Our high-value gatherings provide knowledge and foster new valuable relationships that drive your business forward, and influence thinking. Our network stretches from London to the Middle East, and the US. And covers fintech, energy, dual use defence, VCs, family offices, health, AI, regulators, government, and financial institutions.

  • We transform CEOs and founders into dynamic communicators, elevating their company's reputation. We will leap frog your competitors to land your narratives onto the front pages, ensure your media and stage performances earn you global or dominant market influence.

    We will land LinkedIn ‘Voice’ recognition though consistent thought leadership and cut through story telling to create long term reputation growth. We also prepare founders for Series A, B and C or new market entry.

  • Tell stories that drive your business forward. We develop bespoke content strategies and campaigns for multiple platforms —including podcasts, human case studies, newspaper op-eds, white papers and government committee evidence and speech writing - to cement your reputation and generate client leads. Our co-founder Emily Sheffield has not only edited a legacy newspaper driving hugely influential campaigns, worked on a General Election campaign, is a regular commentator on BBC television (BBC Politics, Newsnight, BBC Question Time) and seasoned column writer.

  • We specialise in connecting Founders and CEOs to high growth, high end networks, in intimate settings, with technology leaders, VCs, Capital, Family Offices, media influencers, policy makers and regulators.

    We also excel in larger gatherings, organising panels, fireside chats, and A-list speakers. See our events page.

  • AI and data led transformation requires the mobilisation of a wide range of stakeholders— partners, customers, investors, equity analysts and prospective hires. It requires individuals at the top of any organisation to not just to set forth a clear vision of how AI is being adopted, but provide consistent and clear communication along the way. 

    Not surprisingly, questions from journalists, analysts, investors and senior stakeholders are increasingly probing measurable business impact from AI investments as well as focusing on human and societal impact. And risk management is vital. 

    At Dartmouth55 we have all  been deeply invested in technological transformation first hand so understand how vital communicating your transformation journey is. We help CEO’s and senior leadership cultivate trusted, consistent narratives around AI transformation and technological  innovation, placing them right at the forefront of the revolution they are harnessing. Whether you are a high-growth start up powered by AI or a legacy bank launching your first Neo bank, we ensure your message outshines the competitors.
