OUR APPROACH

We seek out and identify high potential grassroots groups focused on some of the most pressing social justice issues of our time – we connect them to the right support, help them develop and execute a winning strategy and connect them to the world-class network they need to drive transformative change.

The BREAKTHROUGH Experience is unique:

1
We’ve developed a pioneering 5 stage campaign pathway that takes groups from catalysing a campaign to driving transformation change. The right support at each stage is critical for success. We take campaigns through every one.
Catalyse – Launch – Surge – Sustain – Transform

THE RIGHT
SUPPORT

2
We craft high impact strategies, combining the ‘outside game’ of mobilising, movement building and campaigning with the ‘inside game’ of effectively influencing decision-makers. Our unique combination and experience of online mobilisation and movement building along with our understanding of how power is wielded and how decisions are made, allows us to build bespoke strategies that drive sustained, long term change.

WINNING
STRATEGY

3
We harness true, global expertise with an unparalleled network of dedicated advisors, connecting groups to global activists, top lawyers, leading creatives, top of their field communication experts, strategists and digital movement builders to give them access to best-in-class advice and the networks they need to drive change.
