Strategic communications in practice.

  • 500 helps you, your company, or your organization define who you are, what you do, and what makes you unique.

    Our brand positions are always both descriptive and inspiring. They should work just as well when quickly communicating the brand in everyday conversations or to an uninformed audience as they do with employees or potential customers.

    Moreover, our strategies are designed to be executed rather than stored away in a drawer. This means they should be easy for both internal and external audiences to remember and apply, making daily work easier, not harder.

  • 500 helps our clients increase their visibility, communicate their key messages, update public perceptions of themselves, position spokespersons, strengthen commercial relationships, or navigate risky situations from a communications perspective. We achieve this through PR, events, and content production.

  • 500 helps our clients understand and navigate political processes and risks, as well as communicate with political decision-makers. Our analyses combine insights into contemporary issues, society, and trends with an understanding of the political craft. In this way, we provide our clients with effective tools to make their voices heard by the right person at the right time.

  • In an increasingly fragmented and information-heavy communications landscape, strong relationships are crucial for success. For B2B companies, which often have a limited but strategically important group of stakeholders, it is essential to build long-term trust and create relationships that directly contribute to business development and sustained success. 500 helps management teams establish, develop, and strengthen relationships with their most important stakeholders. At the same time, we work to strengthen personal brands, increase visibility, and position both executives and the organization as leading voices in the industry.

I’m looking for an agency that can help us…

  • Do you want the media to reach out to you regarding the most important issues in your industry? Do you want to be perceived as the leading and most credible player in your field? 500 helps you develop strategies and initiatives that build your positioning, strengthen your reputation, and make you a natural go-to source for both the media and your key stakeholders.

  • Perhaps you’ve raised capital or grown rapidly? Maybe the perception differs between different target groups? Or perhaps you’re associated with a different product than the one you want? 500 helps you create or update your brand strategy when it no longer quite fits.

  • How can your target audiences engage with you if they don’t know you exist? 500 helps you identify the most interesting aspects of your business and craft and package news for both broader and specifically selected audiences.

  • Are you still associated with what you did five years ago? Or is your product difficult to summarize in just a few sentences? 500 helps you with both messaging and content production to ensure your target audiences understand who you are.

  • Do you want to build relationships with new target groups? Or strengthen the relationships with your existing ones? Find new customers or partners? 500 helps you through a combination of broader visibility in relevant channels and tailored, memorable events.

  • 500 helps you review your procedures, stress-test your organization, media-train your spokespersons, and manage strategic considerations related to handling risks or public criticism.

  • About to do a merger? Or a reorganization? During internal changes, communication is critical to retaining talent. 500 helps you ensure that changes are received as positively as possible internally.

  • Does it feel difficult to keep track of new laws, regulations, and initiatives that may affect your business? 500 helps you understand and navigate the regulatory changes most relevant to your industry. We provide you with insights and strategies that enable you to stay ahead and adapt your operations in time.

  • Do you need to attract more applicants to your positions? Or do you want your employees to be prouder to talk about their jobs at the next dinner party? 500 helps our clients strengthen their employer brand through the right kind of visibility.

  • Society is complex, development moves quickly, and the news cycle even faster. Why not outsource part of the responsibility of keeping track of the world around you? 500 provides market and competitor analyses, media monitoring, and advisory services related to current discussions and the trends most important for you to follow.

  • How do today’s political climate, ongoing inquiries, or future decisions affect your business? 500 offers political analysis and advisory services that help you understand what is happening — and what it means for you. We help you identify opportunities and risks and develop strategies to effectively respond to these changes.

  • Parental leave coming up? Do you need an interim press or communications manager? Skip recruitment processes and temporary contracts, and let one of 500’s experienced consultants support you during this period instead.

  • Do you want your executives to become better at reaching out, gaining visibility, and strengthening their positions? 500 helps you develop strategies to enhance leaders’ personal brands and position them as influential voices in the industry.

“I have hired 500 both for ongoing support with press matters and for crisis communication. I find 500 as a whole to be incredibly competent with a broad collective experience. We always receive quick and professional support, and the dialogue is straightforward and easygoing. The consultants we’ve worked with have been extremely available, and something I particularly appreciate is that we’ve been constructively challenged, which has helped us develop both ourselves and our organization. In short, 500 is exactly how I want a communications agency to be.”
