Connecting research with its audiences

We develop intelligent communications to make research and innovation visible, influential, and impactful.

Campus is communications consultancy dedicated to research.

We work with universities, charities, research-intensive organisations, and professional associations.

We focus on shaping the strategies and narratives that help research and innovation to achieve visibility and impact. Working with researchers and institutes, we connect evidence and expertise with the audiences who can fund it, use it, and act on it. We also deliver the communications to help make that happen.

For 25 years, we’ve been a trusted partner to research leaders who want their research to connect with the audiences that matter.

What our clients say about us

I really think this is one of the best investments we have made as an institute, not only to obtain useful materials, but actually to give us much better insight into our own structure and position. Their insight has been extraordinarily useful, and we wouldn’t hesitate to go back to them for further work.

PROFESSOR SIMONE ABRAM
DIRECTOR, DURHAM ENERGY INSTITUTE
Flexible. Professional. Invaluable. Campus PR will always go the extra mile and act as a vital extension of the team. Above all, they are honest and trustworthy. If you want to talk through how and why we’ve worked with them, just drop me a line.

RACHEL BARSON
HEAD OF MEDIA RELATIONS, UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS
Campus PR’s approach was entirely flexible to suit our needs and the team gladly accommodated last-minute changes. I highly recommend Campus PR for their high-quality work, good communication and excellent results.

CLARE ROBERTSON
SENIOR MARKETING EXECUTIVE, UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS
Campus PR are the first PR company I have dealt with (and I have dealt with a few) who do not try to “dumb down” the story or sensationalise it.

DR ROSS BOYLE
UNIVERSITY OF HULL
Working with Campus PR is a real joy. Their flexible but professional approach make our life easy. They have such a great intuition and can produce content based on a minimal brief, which is a skill in its own right.

ANNA LEWANDOWSKA
INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS COORDINATOR, UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS
Your thoughtfulness and attention to detail have been such a help, indeed a saviour. We quite literally couldn’t have done this without you.

PROFESSOR CALUM NEILL
LEAD FOR RESEARCH DEGREES, EDINBURGH NAPIER UNIVERSITY
You’ve been nothing but enthusiastic and skilful in your approach – especially in the training – and we’ve enjoyed working with you. You’ve left us much more able to share the valuable work we produce and much more confident in doing so.

FRASER BATTYE
PRINCIPAL CONSULTANT, THE STRATEGY UNIT
We enjoyed working with Campus PR – Dan went above and beyond to engage with our project, understand the fundamentals of our research and support the delivery of our new website and video animations. Thank you!

DR JACOB SEIFERT, LECTURER IN ECONOMICS
UNIVERSITY OF LEICESTER SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
I thought these sessions were excellent and the attendees got a lot out of them. Being given the opportunity to put the presentation information into practice and receive informed feedback from people who know what they’re talking about is invaluable.

DR ALYX MATTISON
RESEARCH AND IMPACT SUPPORT OFFICER, UNIVERSITY OF BRADFORD
Thank you for all your work to ensure this research reaches a national audience. It's the first time my research has been featured in a national newspaper, so this is awesome.

DR MARLEY WILLEGERS
BANGOR UNIVERSITY
This is an amazing result and underpins the value of what you and your team do beyond the media coverage itself. We are really appreciative of our partnership with Campus PR.

SUE SMITH
HEAD OF PRESS & COMMUNICATIONS, ASTON UNIVERSITY
Just wanted to quickly thank you all for the support with this - the most 'attention' a paper of mine has ever received, and my highest score on Altmetric by a long way.

ROB EVANS
SENIOR LECTURER IN PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY, ASTON UNIVERSITY
Please pass on our thanks to your team for their fantastic work on the three case studies. It has been great to work with you and the team. I very much look forward to creating opportunities that would allow us to work together in the future!

PROFESSOR DAVID SEBAG-MONTETFIORE
CLINICAL DIRECTOR, LEEDS CANCER RESEARCH CENTRE
Thank you so much for your work and insights, which have created so much coverage for April Fakes Day and the great research Patricia Kingori has been doing. It is a really impressive range and spread of media and has helped promote the exhibitions, workshops and projects immensely.

JOHN KENNEDY
COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER, TORCH, UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
We very much enjoy working with the Campus PR team on the press activities at our annual Congress. We can really rely on their expertise, they just know the drill. They are very flexible and, not unimportantly, also great fun to work with!

JARKA BLOEMBERG
GLOBAL MANAGER SALES & MARKETING, EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION OF UROLOGY
Many thanks for all your work over the past few months. It has been great working with you. The quality of your releases superb, everything is done efficiently, and basically – you have seamlessly fitted into the UCL Media Relations team!

HENRY KILLWORTH
HEAD OF MEDIA RELATIONS, UCL
I really appreciated your input – I felt in safe hands! I know my requests were a bit random at times but you responded beautifully and actually just knowing we could call on you was so helpful.

RACHEL CASWELL
SENIOR HEALTHCARE ANALYST, THE STRATEGY UNIT
I cannot state highly enough how impressed we were with Campus PR. Sam and the team were so responsive, flexible, understanding and skilled in their expertise. We are delighted with the end result.

CERI BAIN
RESEARCH & INNOVATION WEBPAGE PROJECT COORDINATOR, EDINBURGH NAPIER UNIVERSITY
Thanks again for the incredible help you gave us in pulling together our REF submission. Your skill in drawing out the narratives and evidence has made it all so much stronger – we couldn’t have done it without you! I hope to get the chance to work with you again in the future.

DR GERRI MATTHEWS-SMITH
EDINBURGH NAPIER UNIVERSITY
Just to say that the science team are over the moon with the coverage, as are our funders! Thank you so much.

LAURA HOLLAND
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS AND CULTURE, ROSALIND FRANKLIN INSTITUTE
We've been really pleased with the work you've done with engineering. It’s been a pleasure working with you all for so long and you've done some fantastic work for us.

SHEMINA DAVIS
MEDIA RELATIONS MANAGER, UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD
I was absolutely delighted that the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund Tissue Bank featured on the BBC News! This was a complex project to pull together – in particular co-ordinating and liaising between so many partner institutions and individual people. You did this with great patience and diplomacy and gave the Tissue Bank the best start we could have hoped for.

MAGGIE BLANKS
FOUNDER, PANCREATIC CANCER RESEARCH FUND
We’d been speaking to Smith & Nephew for a few years about working with us to commercialise the technology and we’d had some excellent publications on the research, but what got the company’s attention was the media coverage which Campus PR helped us achieve. The science on its own couldn’t do it – it was the publicity that clinched the deal.

PROFESSOR SHEILA MACNEIL
UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD
Working with Campus PR has been a great experience. We had a huge amount of interest in our project, which raised the department’s profile and helped us with our post-doctoral recruitment.

DR RODERICH GROSS
UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD
A huge thank you for all your work on this project and for accommodating our tight turnaround time. You brought real expertise in transforming complex research into an accessible and compelling narrative for our audience. It has been a real pleasure working with you and your team, and I’ve learned a great deal from the process.

DR MONICA FACCHINELLO
DONOR RELATIONS MANAGER, UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS

Our small team combines a deep knowledge of the research landscape with decades of science communications experience - without the overheads of a large consultancy.

Whether you need expert advice, a one-off project, or ongoing communications support, we’ll tailor our approach to your goals.

Guided by impact pathways

For our consultancy projects, we map out audiences and pathways to impact to ensure all your communications are focused on supporting and articulating the outputs and outcomes of your work across the research life-cycle.

Our carefully honed approach to copywriting places people, partnerships, and value at the heart of every story we tell. We craft original content based on interviews with the key people involved, weaving data with lived experience.

Matching your sector expertise

Our experience working within the scientific community means we can hit the ground running when it comes to solving your complex challenges or communicating new evidence. We also work with care when collaborating across your network of partners.

Gain communications skills that last

Our communications workshops, online training and coaching aim to equip academics and research teams with the skills to communicate their own research with clarity and confidence.

Complex doesn’t mean inaccessible

Whatever the discipline, we’ll work hard to understand and translate complex ideas into written and creative content that captivates and informs the audiences who need to see it.
