Our mission
To help clients achieve positive outcomes in a complex and changing world
Whether organisations want to build enterprise value, project their brand, or influence policy, they need to work harder-than-ever.
New technologies, online and social media channels, citizen activism and new geopolitical challenges have fragmented audiences. To communicate with impact and achieve positive outcomes organisations need fresh ideas.
Hekla has been created to help clients navigate this dynamic and competitive environment, maximise their impact, and achieve their objectives. We work to enhance your brand equity in everything that we do.
Where our name comes from
Hekla means cloak or veil in the ancient Norse language
Today, as-well-as a volcano in Iceland, several other cloud-covered summits in different parts of Europe still carry the name Hekla. These hills and mountains are evidence of Norse exploration and trade, as-well-as the lasting change that can be created by one community reaching out to others.
‘Hekla’ captures the internationalism, adaptability and sense-of-adventure of our growing team, as-well-as encapsulating the power of communication, storytelling and language.
Our approach
We activate support through insight, creativity, tradecraft and a human perspective
Hekla believes in building lasting and influential constituencies of support for our clients. In today’s fragmented media marketplace it is important to identify, nurture and activate external advocates for your brand, product or cause.
Creatively, we believe in the power of real stories, connecting causes to people’s everyday interests, emotions and experiences. Strategically, is important to us that campaigns are anchored in a rigorous understanding of the political context or business challenge.
Our campaigns champion thought-provoking storylines that give a trusted, compelling and influential voice in media and policy debates.
