Cratus Group is a leading communications agency, providing integrated strategic communications and campaigns across multiple sectors, with a particular track record in the Built Environment.
Founded in 2009, we’ve helped some of the UK’s best-known brands (Taylor Wimpey, Kier, Salisbury Cathedral, London City Airport, John Lewis, JCB) across the Built Environment sector to deliver local and national campaigns, manage political and reputational risks, and influence policy on some of the most important issues facing the UK. What we do matters.
We work across the UK with a network and track record that stretches across every corner of England and Wales, supporting major projects across the transport, energy, logistics, commercial and residential sectors, as well as Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects.
Our success lies in understanding the context of local government decision-making and working collaboratively with communities to create an environment for positive decisions to be made. Our role is to bridge the gap between developers, councils and councillors, and the communities we operate in. We seek to build trust and understanding to achieve better outcomes for everyone.
