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

Direct

Our no-faff approach gets right to the heart of your organisation’s mission, aligning your comms with your goals

 

Empowering

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

OUR SERVICES

We tailor our services to suit the needs and means of the organisations with which we work. Every consultation begins with our signature Surgery workshop, using our tried-and-tested methodology, 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.

Following a Surgery, we will recommend a series of support options that can be delivered as standalone packages or on a fractional basis. We also work with a range of partners to deliver full-spectrum strategic communications services, such as branding and design, production, or internal processes.

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

university of reading

2026 marked the 100th anniversary of the University of Reading. This centenary represented a valuable opportunity to leverage the anniversary to elevate the university's prestige and reputation. An initial Surgery workshop, delivered across three sessions with stakeholders from across multiple teams, identified the core strategic objectives, target audiences and communications channels for centenary activities and messaging. Zenia then coordinated these activities on a fractional basis, in addition to producing bespoke content to support the centenary objectives, such as a centenary film (opposite) and new podcast series.

"Zenia's approach added genuine strategic value to the centenary. Her methodology has been highly effective - I know that as a team we can learn a lot from these methods. I've particularly loved how she's used storytelling to bring the strategy to life. Her working style is very engaging; she always makes an effort to bring the team long with the process and she's a joy to work with."

- Molli Cleaver, Community Engagement Lead
