Communications Training
and Consultancy
Our training is based on the key skills Comms Directors want their teams to master.
Co-created by experts from agencies, charities, the NHS and UK Government, our story-driven curriculum prepares you for the evolving demands of modern communications.
Kudu was created by Anil Manji, an award-winning communications strategist who has led campaigns across public, private and charity sectors.
Formerly part of the Prime Minister’s Priority Campaigns Teams - working on COVID Crisis and COP26 Climate Comms - Anil now uses his cross-sector experience to train teams across the UK.

The key to unlocking genuinely impactful communications, and the discipline which separates the good from the great.
Learn the difference between strategy and tactics, how to set data-driven objectives and build real audience insight, and how to craft and evaluate the perfect campaign plan.
We also integrate key frameworks from the world of crisis comms and behaviour change (incl. COM-B and EAST) to give your team a strategic edge.

Storytelling lies at the heart of communications, but it’s just a buzzword for most teams.
From building strategic narratives using the Pixar frameworks, to developing a headline-first mentality, our focus is on building memory structures and using emotion to change attitudes and behaviours.
