WHAT IS IT?
SpeakTo believe that within our communities and organisations there exists enormous hidden, undervalued creativity, enterprise and energy. But there’s hope. All around us there are countless examples of people doing amazing things, highlighting how, from small beginnings, human ingenuity, determination and vision can create remarkable initiatives, projects and movements. They show that when engaged, we are capable of achieving the incredible and really can make the world a better place to live and work.
From local community to global business, a grassroots attitude opens up new ways of working, revealing that it doesn’t take a lot to make a massive difference. Our vision is to celebrate the extraordinary within the ordinary, magnifying natural enterprise, skill and innovation that exists all around us, celebrating success and injecting a new sense of possibility. We want to show that you already have what you need, you just need to release it.

Our Testimonials
SpeakTo were able to engage a wide-ranging community in a highly effective way; their snapshot discovery report enabled us to understand the underlying issues responsible for the current project inertia and identified the critical themes that define the optimum approach for transition. We have since commissioned them to continue their engagement work supporting the community, wider stakeholders and our team.
Westminster City Council
Last night’s workshop was incredibly helpful in encompassing the complexity of being a new political organisation that is new and maturing and trying to deliver something that has a narrative that is different. Clare R. you are amazing!
Advance Political Party
We were blown away by what was achieved – designing a strong new narrative to engage people and delivering connections within the community that far exceeded our expectations, giving us strong foundation from which to build.
