Blurred is a strategic communication partner with a difference. We blur the lines between comms, sustainability and management consultancy. That’s how we create commercial impact for businesses. And meaningful impact for people and planet. We’re also a B Corp that cares deeply about the issues that negatively impact the world.

We believe in diversity not just because it’s the right thing to do. Our clients have complex problems that require different perspectives and world views which simply don’t come from any single segment of society.

World-class comms. World-class consultancy. World-class creative.
