About InMillhouse
Public relations with an intelligence discipline.
InMillhouse is a public relations and media intelligence agency. Our practice brings research, reputation counsel, crisis communications and media strategy together, so that an organisation's public voice is informed by the world in which it must be heard. Evidence precedes judgement; judgement informs communication. The archive is one instrument of that work, not its boundary.

The InMillhouse method
Our principles
- 01
- The record first
- No position is advanced that the evidence cannot bear. If a claim cannot be cited, it has no place in our counsel.
- 02
- Method
- We bring the discipline of intelligence work to communications: collection, verification and analysis precede every recommendation.
- 03
- Discretion
- Confidentiality is our default, not a courtesy. We work quietly, and our clients' affairs remain their own.
- 04
- Durability
- A narrative founded on fact endures the scrutiny of the press, of opponents and of time.
Our practice
From political and institutional communications to reputation stewardship and media relations, each engagement begins with the matter at hand: the audiences, pressures and decisions that shape it. Request a private consultation.
