A London-founded advisory firm that helps organisations manage their relationships with investors, governments, media and other stakeholders.
Brunswick is an advisory firm that specialises in critical issues and corporate relations. In its own words it helps "companies tackle high-stakes issues, navigate complex stakeholder relationships, and deliver high-impact outcomes". That can mean advising on how a company explains a takeover or results to investors, how it handles a regulatory or legal dispute, or how it deals with governments, campaign groups and its own workforce. A data profile also describes its financial communications expertise.
Its stated purpose is: "Our purpose is to help the great value creating organizations of the world play a more successful role in society." The firm lists integrity, including diligence, openness and accuracy, as a core value. It also describes itself as a "one-firm firm" and a single profit centre, so that teams can be assembled from across the world for each client without offices competing against each other.
Brunswick was founded in London in 1987, and London remains its home. A data profile gives the headquarters as 16 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London WC2A 3ED. The firm's own pages give its size as 24 offices in 14 countries, while one job posting says 27 offices in 18 countries, so the number has clearly changed over time. A 2023 blog by a rival, Edelman, calls Brunswick the leader of the UK communications market, though that is another firm's claim.
The firm describes "a culture of inclusivity, excellence, and intellectual curiosity" and says it prioritises "attracting, developing, and retaining the best professionals in the industry". It highlights "a rich mix of backgrounds" and values "deep experience, fresh perspectives and original thinking". It also says it is an equal opportunity employer. These are the firm's own claims and worth asking people there about.
London teams are organised by practice. One published London job posting sits in the Litigation and Dispute Communications practice, advising clients on investigations, arbitrations and public inquiries and coordinating media, digital and public affairs specialists. Other London postings include financial communications and technology, media and telecoms roles at associate and director level. Writing, numeracy and a close interest in business news are useful foundations for this kind of work.
