The Work Yasmine Djellal NPP FAQ Work With Us

Strategic communications for institutions and people who measure success in impact.

Some institutions are building something that will outlast them. TCC builds the communications strategy to make sure the world understands what is being built, and why it matters.

Our Purpose

We exist for organizations with true missions.

TCC works with institutions, businesses, and people whose common thread is a genuine mandate for positive change, especially in the Global South.

Narrative and communications matter more than ever for the organizations shaping policy, driving business, and building change across the Global South. The ones that communicate their work with clarity and conviction are the ones that secure mandates, build influence, and shape outcomes. TCC delivers the strategy and action plans to make that happen, built from real understanding of how these organizations operate and where narratives are won.

TCC takes on a small number of engagements each year. We work exclusively where the mandate is genuine, the mission is real, and the change being built is positive. Selection is real, and alignment matters more than the contract.

The Work

Four ways we work with you.

01

Strategic Counsel

Strategic counsel built as a partnership, not a project delivery. An ongoing embedded advisory relationship covering narrative strategy, institutional positioning, stakeholder messaging, crisis navigation, and reputational advisory. Senior access. No handoffs. No junior teams.

02

Narrative Architecture

When an institution outgrows its narrative, a new message deck is not enough. Foundational story work for organizations at a turning point: a complete narrative framework, message hierarchy by audience, positioning strategy, and a language system your entire institution can use consistently.

Project-based  ·  Min. 3 months
03

Principal Voice

The leader is the institution's voice in the rooms that matter most. Senior leader communications for ministers, executives, institutional heads, ambassadors, and policy voices: speeches, keynotes, op-eds, thought leadership, and high-stakes preparation.

Research & Insights

Knowing who controls the current story is where strategy begins. Public opinion and sentiment research, narrative landscape analysis, stakeholder mapping, and policy monitoring across the Global South. Intelligence that puts institutions on offense.
