What is One Day Onward?

One of the reasons we started Onward was to work with brilliant NGOs and impact-driven organisations - and support people pushing for social change in courageous and creative ways. Fortunately we get to do this regularly, but we’d love to do it even more - and we know budgets can mean important projects get pushed and pushed.

So every month, we give one full day of our time as a consultancy, pro bono, to helping one organisation tackle a challenge they’re facing.

It might be defining the foundations of your brand,  stress-testing your existing strategy, a sprint for new campaign ideas, sharpening how you tell your impact story, or simply finding the words to bring your mission to life. We’re open to any problem you have where creativity, brand or comms thinking could provide a solution.

How it works

  • At the start of each month, we select one organisation and set up the session at a time that works for both sides.

  • The day is about strategy and ideas  - not design or production. You should leave with clarity, a fresh perspective, and hopefully an exciting way forward.

  • We’ll kick off with a briefing in the morning, and by day’s end, we’ll share back our thinking and recommendations in presentation form.

  • Our only ask is that if selected, you’re happy for us to share a LinkedIn post celebrating the work we did together.
