Corporate Communications
Building trust when it matters most
When organisations communicate clearly, strategy lands and trust builds. We help organisations build clarity: the kind that makes strategies credible and transformations successful.
Organisations that navigate change successfully are not the ones with the best plan. They are the ones where people understood it.
Every company is managing change - strategic, digital, cultural - and often all at once. Change doesn't fail because of flawed plans, it fails when there's a gap between what leadership intends and what people experience. This erodes trust, slows execution and quietly undermines performance.
We close that gap. By helping organisations communicate with clarity at every level. We sharpen the leadership narrative, guide major transformation programmes, build talent propositions, and ensure that ESG and investor reporting builds confidence rather than anxiety.
What we do
Leadership communications
C-suite and management communicating clearly on strategy, direction and key decisions, in times of change and in steady state.
Investor & corporate reporting
Annual reports, integrated reporting and investor narrative: structured and written to build confidence.
Talent & employer positioning
EVP development, employer brand and talent propositions that attract scarce profiles and turn employees into advocates.
Sustainability strategy & reporting
ESG frameworks, CSRD/ESRS compliance and sustainability narratives that connect to strategy and build credibility with investors and regulators.
Transformation & cultural change
Guiding large-scale organisational change. Making the strategy people read in the memo matches the reality they experience at work.
Our work
Ahlstrom
Transition strategy made investable
An international materials group needed one consistent leadership narrative for the boardroom, capital markets and employees. We sharpened the CEO voice, aligned internal and external messaging and built an investor story that held under scrutiny in capital markets conversations.
Microsoft
Talent strategy that outperformed the market
Microsoft needed to win technical talent across nine countries. We built the employer brand, messaging and campaign - reaching 4,000+ partners and turning a tech employer into a recognisable talent destination.
Vopak
EUR 1.5bn in sustainability-linked financing secured
A fragmented sustainability narrative was consolidated into one equity story, consistent across the annual report, investor presentations and analyst conversations. That narrative underpinned a EUR 500m transition financing and a EUR 1bn sustainability-linked revolving credit facility.
We're built around people and entrepreneurship
Only is a European network of autonomous teams, led by creative entrepreneurs and built for a world that demands entrepreneurial thinking, adaptive execution, and human judgement at its core.
Across Europe, our senior Corporate Communications experts operate at the intersection of strategy, narrative, and transformation. They guide organisations through complexity and change, drawing on deep experience and the collective intelligence of a connected European network.
