Do you provide EDI support or company culture training?
Yes. Lion & Mouse delivers belonging and culture workshops designed to help organisations create more inclusive, engaged and psychologically safe workplaces. These programmes go beyond traditional EDI training, focusing on belonging, leadership behaviours and shared purpose. Each workshop includes a practical belonging action plan so organisations can translate insights into meaningful culture change.
Can communications and culture support work together?
Absolutely. Many organisations struggle because internal culture and external communications are treated separately. Lion & Mouse specialises in bringing these together – aligning brand strategy, communications, social value and workplace culture so that what organisations say externally genuinely reflects what people experience internally.
What does a freelance communications consultant do?
A freelance communications consultant helps organisations plan, create and deliver strategic communications that strengthen brand reputation and support business growth. This can include communications strategy, copywriting, thought leadership, website content, social media, press releases and marketing collateral. At Lion & Mouse, our approach also considers workplace culture, social value and belonging, ensuring communications reflect the lived experience of an organisation, not just the marketing message.
