Impact case studies

We’ll help you to demonstrate value and impact from research.

Case studies can bring research to life by featuring the perspectives of key people involved, their bold ideas, and transformation journeys.

  • Highlight the potential or real-world impact from your research.

  • Demonstrate how your research delivers value for communities, organisations or the planet.

  • Feature people and places with quotes and images.

Impact case studies can be used in so many different ways – as compelling content for your website and social media, as part of your preparations for the REF, for an annual report, or to attract new collaborators.

Our approach

As skilled communicators with many years of experience working across higher education and the scientific community, we know how important impact case studies are for research organisations.

We’ll work directly with your team to understand why your research matters to you and your stakeholders, your research environment, the impact your work could have on wider society, and what you would like audiences to think or feel after reading the case study. 

We have expertise in writing about a range of research formats across the scientific disciplines, including academic research, Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, academic-business partnerships, healthcare innovation and quality improvement projects, action research, and co-created community collaborations.

We don’t just write detailed impact case studies - we can also repurpose the content for social media posts, as animated explainers, short researcher films and infographics.
