Who HCN is.
A strategic communications consultancy, led by a journalist, governed like a board.

The name
HCN stands for Human Centred Networks. The name describes the work. Programs are built from people: riders, farmers, members, workers. We design the networks and run them.
How HCN works
Marcus leads every engagement. Producers, crew, designers and specialist counsel come in as the brief needs them, which keeps the overhead low and the senior time high. Engagements are scoped like projects, with a defined outcome, a governance line and a close.
Earlier work spans broadcast, publishing and brand, from BBC and Team GB to Uber and the TAB. It is not on this site. Ask if it is relevant to what you are facing.
