Counter Context was founded in the mid 1990s after the company's founding Directors were approached by a local authority that wanted to understand the difference between effective consultation, market research and traditional public relations.

Our message was simple: effective consultation is not about marketing, market research or lobbying. Instead, effective consultation is ensuring that stakeholders and local communities influence decision-making but recognise the limits of their involvement.

Since then we have enjoyed steady growth as more and more organisations have grown frustrated by poorly designed consultations delaying their projects and upsetting their stakeholders and communities.

Our clients tell us our success is because we really care about our work and we do everything possible to support the people we work for.

Every consultation we design and deliver is different because every client has different aims and objectives. That said, we have uploaded a number of case studies in the Experience section that will give you a good idea of our work and the successes we have enjoyed over the past few years. If you want to find out more about our experience and how we could help you, please give us a call or send us an email.
