The hearth was the focal point of every home.

It was the place for warmth and light, for preparing sustenance and for meeting. Everything was interconnected.

We believe the same is true for business - from internal communications to crisis management, market entry to corporate culture, and PR to business transformation. Nothing happens in a vacuum. Hearth Consulting provides pragmatic support for scaleups, PR agencies and global firms.

Strategic consulting and fractional leadership with clear outcomes and zero fluff.

What we do

We work with ambitious companies and PR agencies to turn comms into a growth engine, not an afterthought.

Whether you're building a new go-to-market plan, getting a story to stick, managing multiple agency relationships, or just trying to get internal teams on the same page – we help you move from chaos to clarity.

We specialise in:

Aligning PR and marketing with business goals
Building crisis comms playbooks that actually get used
Leading transformation projects with comms at the core
Shaping stories for launch, funding, and internal culture
Acting as a fractional CMO or comms director where needed

Link strategy to ROI
Build reporting frameworks that prove value
Improve client comms and pitch decks
Act as a strategic consultant for your leadership team

We're not another agency. We're the partner that helps you grow stronger relationships with your clients – and win new ones.

In-House Teams

Getting the most out of your agency. Or going without one.

We work with internal teams to:

Offer leadership coaching and speaker prep

How we work

No jargon. No fluff. Just smart, senior help where it matters.

Every client is different. We start with a clear discovery phase, then build towards the outcomes that matter most to your business. That might mean a one-off project, a six-month roadmap, or fractional leadership support.

We’ll always be clear on what we do, how we do it, and what success looks like.
