As an arts, cultural or heritage organisation, you’ll have a cause that you profoundly believe in: a curatorial vision; a transformative mission; broadening reach; deepening engagement. We power your ambition to become a fully cause-led, audience-focused and insight-driven organisation.

MHM offers a programme of strategic organisational planning and brand development, with your mission and cause at the heart of it. In a series of all-staff workshops and one-to-one sessions, we’ll collaborate with you to define (or refine) your cause, vision, mission and brand DNA, produce a unique brand model and develop an actionable, strategic business plan that’ll ensure that your organisation is united behind a strong, shared vision and that everyone is inspired by engaging your audiences.
