About Damage Control
WE ARE NOT A PR AGENCY

Damage Control Consultancy was founded in August 2012, as a communications agency in the social development context. Over the years, we noticed a trend of ground-breaking research slipping into the cracks, and important campaigns lacking depth. We seek to convert knowledge into accessible forms of communication.

We work across all media, based on the understanding that information needs to be disseminated differently depending on the content and target audience. We cater to the specific communication demands of our clients, producing work in various formats: film, photography, booklets, print exhibitions and website management. Our consultancy takes pride in its ability to turn unwieldy research into meaningful communication products.

What do we do?

  • Communication strategy
  • Creating New Content
  • Refashioning Existing Knowledge To New Content
  • Production across media
