When the Legal Education Foundation asked us to help overhaul their brand and website, we knew it was about more than a fresh logo. It was about enabling their bold new strategy, re-energising their mission and embracing their work as a social justice funder.

Choosing an agency is easy. Choosing the right one is harder.
Most pitch processes focus on the obvious stuff — skills, experience, and price. That’s not wrong. But it’s also not enough.

🧭 Does your digital team feel like it’s constantly being restructured? One year it’s centralised. The next, everyone’s embedded across departments. Then back again. Repeat.
We’ve seen this play out across the sector many times. The real issue is not the structure, it’s the support.
Making the jump from specialist to leader isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing differently.
We’ve pulled together thoughts from across the William Joseph team on what helped (and what didn’t) as we navigated that journey ourselves.
We're so pleased to support this group, and to make a donation to a charity after each event that relates to the book.
