How can we help you?

We make sense.

Making our towns, cities and communities better places and giving the people who live there better prospects can be incredibly complex. We can help make sense of it.

We write words that communicate clearly and accurately. We design eye-catching material. We run masterclasses. All our work is about helping you work better.

NS+ was created by the founders of New Start magazine to offer you high quality editorial and communications services. We provide:

• An unrivalled understanding of regeneration and communities, underpinned by detailed knowledge of policy and practice
• The ability to analyse and communicate complex concepts simply, clearly, creatively and accurately
• The skills, talent and connections of creative professionals from a wide range of disciplines.

Our network of associates covers the full range of editorial and publishing services - researching, writing, editing and designing reports, brochures and magazines. We can create and edit web content and design websites; deliver top quality photography and graphic design; offer public relations and marketing services; and generate audio and video material.

Our team, led by New Start editorial director Julian Dobson, can work with you to get your message across in the most appropriate and cost-effective way. We pride ourselves on the New Start approach: accurate, clear and creative, with the aim of offering speed, flexibility, and value for money in all our services.
