Change Agents
Change is inevitable.
Progress isn’t.
We build campaigns to change the world for the better.
Change is relentless. Inescapable. Unavoidable.
How we respond to it – and how we create it – is what defines success.
Real progress belongs to the people and organisations that refuse to accept the status quo.
The mavericks and insurgents; disruptors, thinkers and dreamers. The unreasonable people on whom all progress depends.
We work for those people, helping them not only navigate change, but design it.
Pairing strategic counsel with world-class creativity and relentless delivery, we build campaigns to take on the world’s biggest challenges and create the change we need.
Don’t just navigate change, design it.

Testimonials
“Chris and Imogen have been trusted advisors to us and an extension of the CEO Office since the birth of our company’s transformation. They were pivotal in challenging and helping us shape our equity story, with a unique skill in translating complex financial concepts into a simple but engaging narrative that could be understood and internalised by our 100,000 employees across many countries.”
—Chief of Staff to the CEO
“There's a lot I could say about The Hanwell Group. But put simply, they are a class act.”
—Stakeholder Engagement Lead
“The Hanwell Group brings deep expertise across all aspects of communication. Their ability to craft and steward a coherent narrative, while anticipating the needs and perspectives of the CEO and all stakeholders, consistently strengthened confidence, alignment, and outcomes. Their support has delivered lasting and meaningful impact. I would confidently recommend them to any C-suite leader or CEO seeking trusted counsel across all aspects of strategic communication and stakeholder engagement.”
—Head of Communications
“They are modest and humble - and frighteningly good. They embody quiet excellence. They listen, carefully, at any time of day or night, and come back with something incredibly considered that you hadn’t thought of but was entirely what you needed.”
—Head of CEO Office
“We’ve collaborated with The Hanwell Group on communications solutions to some of the world’s most intractable challenges. On behalf of government clients and philanthropic funders, they have helped us devise strategic communications programs that respond to the real drivers of people’s attitudes and behaviors. Bringing decades of unique experience and consistently innovative approaches, Chris and Imogen have helped us deliver research-based solutions designed around the effects we need to achieve, rather than top-down key messages and narrative frameworks. In this way, they’ve helped us achieve impact where change often seemed impossible.”
