About Us

Open Road is an independent consultancy founded in 2007 by four senior and highly experienced communications professionals.

The modern communications world is fluid and respects no boundaries.  We deliver joined-up communication that works.

We offer the best of both worlds.  We are all specialists in corporate communications, public affairs and corporate responsibility.  But we also offer integrated communications that deliver results across them all.

We offer senior people — hands-on — working as partners with our clients to achieve your objectives through senior level advice, assistance and implementation.

Our Beliefs

  • We believe clients deserve the reassurance of big agency experience with the personal attention and dedication that come from a smaller start-up agency.
  • We believe in giving straightforward and realistic advice.  We do not hesitate to offer challenging views and perspectives.
  • We believe strategy should be simple but powerful.  We will help you to develop and improve your long-term relationships with your key stakeholders to help you achieve your objectives and get results.
  • We believe that communications can no longer be top down nor one-way and equally that it cannot be about spin and hype.  Audiences see through that.  What they expect and deserve are dialogue, and a willingness to listen and respond.
  • We believe in focusing on achieving results for our clients through effective planning, research, execution and evaluation.
  • We believe in an ethical approach and are members of the Association of Professional Political Consultants (APPC). We register our clients and consultants with the APPC and abide fully with their Code of Conduct.
