We're delighted to have been appointed by Global Cornish to help build awareness, influence and engagement around its mission to unlock new opportunities through its global network of talent, expertise and investment. We'll deliver a strategic communications programme spanning messaging, thought leadership, media relations and cross-platform storytelling. 

Global Cornish is a new initiative, launched last year at the Houses of Parliament, designed to connect and mobilise Cornwall’s global diaspora. Shaped by centuries of migration, Cornwall has a unique and vibrant international community of people who are Cornish by birth, ancestry or choice. Global Cornish aims to harness the strength of this network to drive innovation, economic growth and investment, creating meaningful partnerships that generate prosperity both at home and around the world. 

We'll provide strategic communications support to Global Cornish on a pro bono basis as part of our commitment to supporting initiatives that contribute to the UK’s long-term prosperity and innovation ecosystem. The focus of the Global Cornish programme will be on building sustained visibility for Cornwall’s innovation, talent and investment opportunities among regional, national and international audiences. 

While best known for working with technology companies, our credentials also include strategic communications programmes for organisations including Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership, supporting initiatives focused on innovation, investment and economic growth. This latest appointment reflects both our deep connection to Cornwall and our belief in the power of entrepreneurial networks, talent and innovation to create lasting economic opportunity. 

“Global Cornish represents something both powerful and timely: a confident region with a rich history of innovation and a global network with the potential to create real economic opportunity," Emma Ross, CEO, Missive, commented. "Cornwall has long produced exceptional talent, entrepreneurs and innovators, many of whom have gone on to make their mark around the world. We are passionate about what Global Cornish is setting out to achieve and proud to be supporting an initiative that seeks to harness those connections to drive investment, innovation and growth. For us, this is both strategically compelling and personally meaningful.” 

“This partnership is diaspora collaboration in action," Nicola Lloyd, Director, Global Cornish added. "Global Cornish exists to harness the strength of our worldwide Cornish community and translate that connection into tangible economic opportunity and cultural exchange. Working with Missive demonstrates exactly that: connecting Cornish talent and expertise wherever it is in the world and bringing that value back to Cornwall. Their understanding of innovation-led organisations and ability to build influential narratives will be invaluable as we grow the Global Cornish movement.”
