About

We’re a social impact agency on a mission to communicate ideas worth fighting for. Ideas of hope, change and innovation guide our work to create a just and sustainable world. We use the power of storytelling, design, video and grassroots organizing to propel socially responsible brands. Our clients are leading humanitarian organizations, think tanks, universities, government agencies, tech innovators and social enterprises who fight society’s toughest challenges.

Our agency focuses corporate social impact, political campaigns, brand positioning and issue communications. Our staff are activists at heart and creative strategists by trade. With research and passion, we drive progressive business models through client projects, compelling content and curated events.

In our free time, we cultivate a community of change agents through our debate series, the annual Hack-a-thon, and charity projects throughout the year. As a result, we can take our advocacy efforts to new heights by helping local leaders get involved with the important issues affecting their communities.

FAIR & DIVERSE MEDIA

COMMUNICATE DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES

In order to create a real connection between our clients and their customers, we must first educate the public on a variety of viewpoints.

CREATE NEW RULES

Once we’ve educated the public, we identify which policies are no longer effective for the communities they serve. We work with community leaders, general public, nonprofits and government officials to create new policies that drives our clients and partners’ causes.

CHANGE THE CULTURE

Change is only possible when the public and private sectors work together. When the public has adopted transformative thinking and implemented new and fair policies, we can change behaviors and create a better culture that change lives.

We use our communications expertise to contribute to healthier kids, better schools, fairer laws, and elected leaders who will drive our society forward. From political strategy to digital media planning, from creative storytelling and design to sophisticated campaign development, we’ve assembled what we think is a pretty unique set of battle tools in the fight for change.

Corporate Impact

Consumers are becoming more mindful of how they choose their favorite brands. Integrating social responsibility into business models is becoming a new standard for gaining the trust and loyalty of the public. We help you engage the community you serve, manage their expectations, and build better business practices.

Political Campaigns

Whether it’s at the ballot box, in the halls of Congress, in state legislatures, or the court of public opinion, House of Battles helps clients win. We use digital analytics, micro-targeting, and media organizations to enhance popularity and votes.

Brand Positioning

We build brands that stand up in a world of change. We develop more than packaging. We create identities that connect to your customers deepest concerns. We share the key message at the heart of every client’s mission.

Issue Communications

Our clients are changemakers that want to make the world better. In order to achieve their goals, we must research and understand all perspectives. In doing so, we strip complex issues down to its raw essence and develop strategies that call others to action.

Our clients and partners are leading humanitarian and philanthropic organizations, think tanks, universities, government agencies, tech innovators and social enterprises who fight the toughest challenges of our time and champion those most disadvantaged.
