About
“What we like about Cast from Clay is your ideas. You take us out of our comfort zone.”

We’re a communications consultancy for those who work on policy change. Most good ideas in the world of policy never make it to the desk of a decision maker. That’s where we come in.

Why we try to get policy unstuck.
We’re a team of strategists and creatives who believe that sensible policies are the foundation of functional societies.
Every jurisdiction and policy area has its own complexities. Insufficient government capacity, a lack of political capital, organisations unable to coalesce around mutually agreeable policy objectives… the list goes on.
Few of these barriers are easily changed. If they were, we wouldn’t be talking about them. That is why, we do a lot of things. What we’ve done to get {POLICY UNSTUCK}:
- Run a campaign that led to several countries {ADOPTING NEW POLICY COMMITMENTS}.
- Create a new {APPROACH TO HUMANITARIAN ADVOCACY}.
- Support multiple research organisations to {DEPLOY CAMPAIGNING APPROACHES}.

Let’s get your policy unstuck.
Hire us to run a policy impact diagnostic.
Not making the progress you want?
We’ll apply the lessons of the Policy Unstuck interview series to your policy area, building on the insight from dozens of interviews with ministers, special advisers and former civil servants, and combine that with bespoke stakeholder research to give you a view on what is holding you back.
You can get a sense of the questions we’ll be answering by reviewing our 10 Commandments of Policy Impact. It’s a 2 month process, costing £20,000+VAT, and you’ll leave with a set of practical, tangible recommendations on what you need to do. Book a call with Tom to discuss further.
