Long Run Works is an agency that helps good ideas grow through storytelling. They were founded in 2014 by two former advertising executives who wanted to use communication to inspire positive change. Long Run Works has three models - working directly with clients on briefs, collaborating on shared good causes, and developing their own campaigns. They have helped numerous organizations and startups grow through strategic storytelling and communication strategies.

to win support

that make a
positive difference.
Long and short of it
“Whatever you are
trying to sell,
storytelling is the
most powerful thing
you can do”.
Richard Branson

4. Our founders joined the same big London agency
straight out of Uni and spent 10 years measuring
their success on how big their brands, budgets and
nights outs were.
They both had ‘oh-shit’ moments on years out.
One repented by supporting start-ups that were
solving society’s biggest challenges and the other
used his creativity to inspire change.
A 2014 Christmas pub reunion started with an
argument on all that is wrong in the communication
industry and finished with an agreement to fix it.
Their New Year’s revolution was to start Long Run
Works, an agency finding new ways to make and tell
stories that help good ideas grow.

6. • People who turn society’s challenges
into amazing new opportunities need
their story to be heard.
• Humans are hardwired to react to
stories that emotionally resonate –
so stories need to be about people
and purpose.
• Telling stories is getting easier but
making them stick is getting harder,
so stories need to be made properly.
The way we think

7. • Our long run tools will give you fresh
perspectives, deeper truths and more
impactful ideas.
• We love to do more for less, so expect
innovative collaboration and new ways to
use technology to make better stories.
• Our workshop approach makes it easier
to get going with new brands, campaigns
and conversations, or to refresh and
recharge existing ones.

11. Hermann International
Our strategy to reposition a 40 year old
company in the UK as a skunk works
division is empowering them to
experiment with new digital products
and build a new story to ensure it
flourishes for the next 40.
A partnership with Clean and Cool will provide intelligence
from entrepreneurs tackling society’s biggest challenges. An
event in Q4 for c-level executives will showcase the value of
embracing diverse thinking to help people find new solutions
to the biggest business issues.

12. Clean and Cool
Our unique story-led platform for the
UK’s best cleantech SMEs is designed
on the insight that the most important
challenge for founder–CEOs in
jumping the innovation ‘valley of death’
is a human one.
We’ve found, inspired and equipped 76 of the UK’s early stage
companies that have the transformative potential in agriculture,
buildings, energy, transport, water and waste. Our entrepreneur
missions to the US, training and follow on support gives them
the pitch and profile and contacts that they used to secure over
£600m in 123 deals. We are backed by the UK government
and private sector partners.

13. Appgree
As a ground-breaking digital tool that
allows you to learn the genuine
consensus of the crowd in real time,
we’re building their story around the
most newsworthy crowds in the UK,
with global reach.
In 3 months we’ve established launch partnerships with a
political party, a Premier League football club, a sport
governing body and a global mobile telecoms brand. We’re
now planning a launch news generating campaign that grows
good by sharing better insights and making voices heard.

14. BASIS
With the power of sport still yet to be
mobilised to make a difference, our
programme will create a stronger
brand, clearer communication and a
grassroots sustainability campaign that
embraces facilities and fans.
We’ve designed a series of collaborative workshops for the
members of the British Association of Sustainability in Sport -
including Royal Ascot, Twickenham, Lords, Wembley Stadium
and Wimbledon – to remake their collective story and
empower them to tell it.

15. SPARK Festival
By bringing together people who care
the most about new ways for children
to learn we sparked a festival of ideas
in an innovative collaboration with
MakerClub.
Over 70 teachers, innovators and employers including SKY,
Barclays and the BBC took part in our inaugural one day
showcase and workshop to spark local action in education.
Outcomes included a new crowd funded maker space, a city
wide rewilding strategy and an innovative new social
enterprise to help unemployed 16-18 year olds.

16. We’re scaling an innovation that
improves community engagement and
decisions about sustainability in urban
planning by using games to allow kids
to design change.
Blockbuilders
We made a story that was launched on stage at TEDx Brighton,
pitched to the head of innovation at Dept. of Energy and Climate
Change and the next step is an audience of developers and
architects as part of RIBA’s digital transformation platform.
Blockbuilders are now involved in the Mary Portas Regeneration
Project and are being engaged by local councils.

17. Goodmoney’s gift voucher is designed
to help small independent businesses
by keeping more money circulating
locally for longer. To launch
successfully it needed an authentic
brand, compelling story and a ready
made engaged community.
Goodmoney
By setting up a classic news creation PR calendar – from a
competition at launch to a ‘shelfie’ socal media campaign –
we’re helping win new customers for all local businesses that
sign up. We are also running Make Your Story workshops to
help over 100 SMEs tell a better story.

18. Working together
We love nothing more than being asked to
prove ourselves.
We’ve designed workshops and tools that can
refresh, challenge or create a brand and
communication strategy in 48hrs.
We deliver immediate, practical and tactical
actions for either you or us to implement.
Our approach is always to:
- inject energy
- be open and share tools, know-how and
networks
- push, challenge and stretch what we can do
together based on big thinking and results
The opportunity to help grow
good ideas everyday makes
for an awesome adventure.
