Something big's coming up, and the communications is more than your team can carry. Or, the ideas are there... waiting for someone with the time to get them out.

Either way, you don't have to do this alone.
We work with two kinds of marketing and communications teams.
Tell us which one you are.

"We have a moment coming and we can't miss it."

A launch. An event. A report that needs to reach those it was made for. You need people who can move, people who you trust to deliver on time.

"We know what we need to say. We just don't have the capacity to do it all.”

Your communications team is one person (or half a person!) and there is more work than the time available.

Scroll down and find out what we've created for each of these scenarios.

The deadline is fixed. Your team is already full up. Something has to give, and it shouldn't be the quality of work.

A "moment" for the teams we work with might be a summit where you need people to understand what you are there to say, a report that needs to be read and referenced in proposals, or a policy win you need to communicate while people are paying attention. Whatever it is, it piles onto teams that are already full. We've worked inside that pressure on 20+ projects for 10+ clients around the world.

01

It's your sector's biggest moment of the year and you need a full visual presence with no time to pitch.

An experienced team that comes in and hits the ground running — visual and media presence handled, on time, so you can arrive at your moment, knowing you’re prepared, and with a peace of mind.

02

You have a report launching and you need the people it was written for, to actually read and use it.

Assets built for the actual audience reading it — so it gets forwarded into the right funding conversations, not deleted from the email inboxes after a quick skim.

03

Something big happened and you need to move or respond fast without it looking rushed

A story that lands across multiple languages, geographies, and complexity, giving funders and partners the clarity and confidence to continue supporting your work.

Fixed scope, fixed timeline, clear output

Event Moment Sprint
Campaign Launch Sprint
One Delivery Response

COP, Climate Week, Women's Month, regional summits, etc.

A three-day event shouldn't leave you with three weeks of communications catch-up afterwards.

Over six to eight weeks, we help you get the communications ready before the event, cover what needs to happen while you're there, and keep things moving afterwards. Depending on the moment, that can include event branding, messaging, social campaigns, on-site graphics, community management and on-the-ground comms coverage.

Report releases, policy campaigns, research launches

In six to eight weeks, we'll work with you in developing a Narrative framework, launch toolkit, report design, key visuals, X-day social rollout, media support materials - so the story reads the same whether someone sees the report, the social round-up, or the media pickup.

Urgent moments, breaking news, reactive campaigns

You've only got one to two weeks? Think 48-hour messaging framework, intensive social campaign, reactive graphics, talking points, real-time counsel - so speed doesn't come at the cost of getting the message right.

Is there a deadline approaching?

Your communications keep falling down the priority list, because the work has outgrown what one or two people can carry.

You shouldn't have to spend more time managing the outside support you've brought in to save you time.
With us, you talk to the people doing the work, and we understand the importance of know your context, your politics and your sensitivities, so you're not the one holding every thread. We stay involved after delivery too, until the result is what you need - it's not just a file in your inbox.

01

You're a one person comms team and the work keeps outpacing you, so you end up falling behind deadlines

With us on your side, you're no longer the only person responsible for catching what tends to fall through the cracks. You have a team that takes the time to get to know your work - the politics, the sensitivities, the communities - you're accountable for.

02

Every moment - the annual report, events, the advocacy push - ends up in a pile that grows higher because there wasn't time to plan ahead

A flexible engagement built around your actual moments and needs, with people who already understand the ins and outs of the space you work in so things are planned for in advance, instead of being another fire to put out. We look ahead at what is coming across the year: what needs to start earlier, what you're likely to need more than once, what can be created once and adapted, and where you know you'll need extra help.

03

You've worked with agencies before, the relationship was distant and spent more time briefing them than getting work done

The best of both worlds, an individual's attention, with a full team's range behind it. Essentially a strong partnership, not a distant vendor relationship.

How We Structure This

The Annual Moments Partnership
For teams with more continuous needs

The Annual Moments Partnership

We plan 3 to 4 moments across your year. By the time the next one comes around, we already know your organisation, your audiences and how you work. We can look at what already exists before creating something new, plan earlier for the things we know are coming, and create work that can be adapted and reused where that makes sense. And when something unexpected comes up, you already have a team that knows the context.
‍
That being said, we only take on 4 clients a year with our annual moments partnership to make sure we deliver at the quality we’re known for. If this sounds like something you’re planning for, let’s have a chat to see how the horae can help!

Some partnerships evolve into something closer to an embedded arrangement

Most people hire us for moments… but for teams with more continuous needs, like ongoing communications management, not just moment-to-moment support. We only take on 3 long-term partnerships, deliberately, which means this isn't just you vetting your options, it's us choosing which causes we spend our limited time on. When that alignment is realized, the relationship develops and goes somewhere a standard retainer doesn't.

If that sounds like what you're looking for, let's explore it further, together.

Let's chat about your annual moments!

What our clients are saying about us

Here's what our clients say about what it's like to work with us. Their testimonials highlight how our teamwork and co-creational foundations helped meet various business needs.

Demonstrated a genuine commitment to the cause that drives us.

“What most impressed me while working with the horae was their organizational capacity to establish a fluid process, their openness to receiving feedback on intermediate proposals, and their flexibility in adapting to the "reality check" when deadlines shift. All of this demonstrated a genuine commitment to the project, our organization, and the cause that drives us.”

Bruno Weis, Communications Manager, TINTA
Undoubtedly one of my top choices.

“As an international consultant, I collaborate with various organizations and creative teams, and the horae is undoubtedly one of my top choices. From our very first project together, it felt like working with an extended member of my own team rather than an external service provider.”

Paula Alvarado
CEO and Founder,
Seeds for Change
They know how to make movements look as strong as they are.

Their team immediately understood the spirit and urgency behind our campaign for NY Climate Week, and translated that into bold, powerful visuals that brought the #NowOrNever campaign messages to life throughout New York City on our LED billboard truck. The #NowOrNever campaign celebrated the upholding of a 2019 decision of the Lamu Coal Plant license revocation in Kenya.
