Clear Solutions to Complex Communications Challenges


We help you navigate, authentically communicate, and measure the impact of your efforts in today’s complex social, political, and economic environment.

Public relations has always been a powerful tool for companies to communicate their missions, products, and values. However, as society grows more conscious of global challenges – from climate change to social inequality – there emerges a more specialized form of PR: Impact Relations.

Impact Relations isn't just a buzzword – it's a commitment to channeling the power of communication for a better world.

“IGC’s strategic guidance – from redefining our corporate purpose and mission to revamping our marketing and communications process – was exactly what we needed to significantly streamline our efforts and elevate our brand.”​
