About Orkney Communications

Founded in 2022, Orkney Communications is a Canadian communications consulting firm specializing in organizational, political, and strategic communications.

We work with startups, businesses, organizations, campaigns, public figures, and teams to understand how they communicate, identify where problems or risks exist, and develop practical strategies to improve both internal and external communications.

Our work can begin at any stage. We help new organizations build their communications structure from the ground up, while also working with established organizations that have outgrown scattered emails, disconnected platforms, unclear approval processes, single-column group chats, or communications systems that no longer meet their needs.

Our consulting services extend well beyond internal workflows. Orkney Communications provides strategic support in communications planning, political communications, public relations, media relations, crisis and issues management, reputation management, messaging and positioning, stakeholder identification and engagement, organizational change communications, content strategy, and internal communications.

We also help organizations identify potential communications risks before they become public problems. This includes reviewing messaging, imagery, symbols, slogans, and other materials for unintended meanings, conflicting interpretations, reputational concerns, or content that may be inappropriate or offensive to the audiences it is intended to reach.

When communications systems themselves are part of the problem, we assess how information moves through an organization and identify weaknesses in platforms, workflows, approvals, responsibilities, and internal processes. Using trusted third-party platforms where appropriate, we help clients develop clearer communication structures and more effective ways for teams to collaborate while ensuring they retain control of their own accounts, data, and systems.

We can also provide one-on-one and group training to help staff understand and confidently use new communications processes, platforms, and workflows.

Our approach is practical, independent, and hands-on. We take the time to understand how an organization operates, who it needs to communicate with, where unnecessary friction or risk exists, and what changes can make its communications clearer, more consistent, and more effective.
