Critical care for strategic communications:

from symptoms to solutions

The Strat Comms Surgery is a workshop-based consultancy designed to empower your organisation with a clear, tailored and actionable communications strategy.

 

We use our unique tried-and-tested methodology, grounded in academic research and distilled from industry expertise. We work collaboratively with your team to build a focused blueprint that enables better communications management across the whole organisation.

OUR METHODOLOGY IS:

Efficient

An intensive workshop with actionable results that can be applied across the whole organisation

Empowering

We equip your team with clear direction and techniques to manage communications effectively

OUR PACKAGES

We have packages to suit the needs and budgets of any organisation. All our packages are centred on our signature Surgery workshop, which helps us to get to know your organisation's goals, audiences and existing communications structures and lays the groundwork for an effective communications strategy. 

We believe in pricing transparency and operate on a project basis, rather than a retainer basis, so you always know what you're getting and what you're paying for.

THE TEAM

Security Studies Headshots-936.jpg
Zenia Duell

Founder

With a decade of experience in communications, I honed my storytelling skills over seven years as an award-winning documentary producer for platforms like Netflix, the BBC, and Discovery, before spending three years serving corporate and government clients at the global strategic communications firm Edelman, working across their Middle East and UK offices.

As a recognised voice in strategic communications, my ongoing PhD research actively contributes to academic discourse, while my top-rated ancient history podcast and published career guide for TV professionals demonstrate my practical ability to engage audiences, build communities, and offer actionable insights within and beyond the communications sphere.

TESTIMONIALS

“Zenia developed robust communications strategies that guided clients to achieve business goals and reputational excellence. Execution under her lead delivered measurable gains in positive, high-quality visibility and stakeholder engagement.

 

Zenia’s academic knowledge, coupled with her technical mastery, allows her to deeply understand a client’s vision, mission, objectives and values, whether they are newly launched entities or well-established organisations.”
