Elevating social impact & engagement

Advice. Strategy. Facilitation. Training. And SOCIAL PURPOSE.

We are A social enterprise consultancy that helps organisations to better understand their communities and realise their social impact goals.

We anchor our work around place, people, policy, politics and partnerships - building the capacity of teams, enhancing reputation and helping to leave a positive legacy.

We elevate social impact and engagement by:

  • Exploring in depth the place, space or engagement challenges.

  • Understanding key drivers for social impact and helping to maximise opportunities.

  • Making connections with the people and organisations that will help drive inclusion and impact goals.

  • We then help to determine what longer term business and social impact success looks like.

We are formally certified as a social enterprise by Social Traders and recognised as a People and Planet First social enterprise, stewarded by the Social Enterprise World Forum.

Our services

Amplifier is a different kind of consultancy, with an innovative yet mature outlook and decades of experience creating social value.

We bring our fresh method to creating social impact and engaging with community - and a commitment to leaving a positive impact.

  • We help organisations to maximise their social impact goals by helping drive the right partnerships, while exploring ways to help build internal capacity to understand and contribute.

    Whether it is social procurement spend, workforce participation targets, employee volunteering or ways to elevate your Reconciliation aspirations, we can help to strategise for success.

  • We are skilled and experienced engagement professionals who work with teams and their stakeholders to create engagement strategies and action plans to maximise public participation.

    We bring a strong focus on inclusive practices to drive for more diverse and representative community and stakeholder inputs, as well as bringing a keen eye on communications-based risks to protect and enhance organisations’ reputations.

  • We deliver training to help teams to realise how to drive their social impact objectives and to better understand their diversity of stakeholders and communities.

    We always underpin this with strategies to help become a more engaging organisation - including a focus on team building and how to enhance and protect organisational reputation.

    We also curate bespoke immersion programs for key project staff and stakeholders to build empathy and understanding of the locale or issue, working with identified partners, including advocacy organisations and not-for-profits.

  • We are highly experienced facilitators who are not afraid to tackle complex and tricky situations.

    We also understand how to design events and activities to minimise the risks of overly heated conversations and maximise the useful feedback to be gained from community members of all types.

    We also will always work to make sure events are engaging and a hopefully a bit fun.

THE impact journey

Our approach builds shared knowledge and understanding across project teams and organisations.

It then takes a deep-dive into the ‘five P’s’ - place, people, policy, politics and partnerships - with a firm focus on inclusion.

We then build on this with the right people around the table, co-designing solutions that fit and exploring medium and longer term opportunities for capacity building and social impact.

Finally, we develop frameworks for evaluation, harnessing lessons-learned and data to help drive continuous improvement.
