Creating opportunities and tackling inequality

Large banners for the Global Youth Entrepreneurship Summit 2019 hang between tall columns on a grand building, displaying photos of two young women. People gather below the banners at the event entrance.

Economic and social development is about more than numbers on a page – it’s about people’s lives. From housing and regeneration to skills and employment, the way we communicate these issues can build confidence, unlock opportunities and help communities thrive.

We’ve worked with governments, housing associations, colleges and charities to make complex strategies clear and relatable – helping people take action, communities feel empowered and funders see meaningful impact.

Our approach

Making policy practical – turning abstract strategies into clear, human-focused communications
Stories with people at the centre – showing the lived experiences behind economic and social issues
Co-created with communities – giving tenants, learners, service users and local groups a voice in shaping communications
Empowering and positive – tackling inequality while focusing on opportunity and progress

Who we work with

A close-up of students wearing black graduation caps and gowns, seated in rows, facing forwards during a graduation ceremony. The focus is on the back of a student with auburn hair.

A smiling child wearing a hairnet and lab coat holds sticky dough in a bowl, with flour on her face in a classroom or kitchen setting.

A young woman with long brown hair, wearing glasses, a pink shirt, grey cardigan, and blue jeans, stands in front of a colourful mural with abstract shapes and hands. She looks at the camera with a slight smile.

Modern office space with pink partitioned workstations, swivel chairs, and desks with laptops. Large windows provide natural light, and there are plants and storage cupboards in the background. The design is open and minimalistic.

Louder Than Words was the largest ever gathering of B Corps in the UK. The team really came together to ensure the event was a success and remained true to the B Lab UK brand, developing a name, identity, website, event signage and marketing assets for multiple platforms. Everglow understood exactly what we wanted to achieve and worked alongside us and our stakeholders to help make that a reality. It was brilliant!
