Hornbeam & Co. was founded by veteran brand-building strategic communicators committed to accelerating positive change.

After a collective seven decades in advertising, marketing, events, PR, communications and media, four friends and former colleagues came together behind one shared passion; to apply the hard-earned knowledge of creating desire for consumer products and experiences to the causes and innovations that communities around the globe will benefit from.

We humanise the complex and make the distant and abstract relatable, mobilising support for the building blocks of a regenerative future.

Our Impact

We’ve worked with some of the world’s biggest brands across almost every continent to shape culture, raise profiles, boost revenue and secure advocacy, being awarded numerous Travel Marketing, Travel+Leisure and PRWeek awards along the way. There’s a Cannes Silver Lion in the collective trophy cabinet, too.

What Our Clients Say

Anthony Montalto, AIA,
Chief Design Officer, Partner,
HKS Architects, Inc.

I have now worked with Hornbeam & Co. on two major international architectural pursuits.

We needed a team that would seamlessly integrate into our process and that would elevate the conversation around and depth of our vision.

In almost 30 years in the industry, I have not met anyone of the caliber of the team over at Hornbeam.

Bottom line; they made our end product better!”

Founder and Chairman,
The Waitt Foundation.

Our team works across the globe to protect and replenish the ocean as well as creating the potential to create greater economic and local prosperity for big ocean states.

We partnered with Hornbeam & Co. to help us better share the complex what, how and why of our vision; a vital part in engaging key audiences, whether a political leader or a fisherman.

The insights and understanding they brought of such complex audiences were invaluable to our programs.


Dr Kathryn Mengerink,
