Milltown Partners is a global advisory firm working with influential organisations and individuals on the communications and public policy challenges that define their reputations.
Our clients are leaders in their field: groundbreaking technology companies and their founders; global businesses and their CEOs; prominent individuals and renowned institutions. Technology and innovation are at the heart of our business and problem-solving approach, and we root our strategies in data insights and research on the audiences that matter, messages that work, and communications channels that deliver.
We work as one team to ensure our clients can draw on our collective experience. The advice of our teams in London, Brussels, Dublin, San Francisco and New York is informed by everyone from our accomplished analysts to the founding partners, including leaders who have joined us from respected advisory firms as well as senior positions at Google, WhatsApp, The Royal Household, Uber, the British Government, Airbnb, the Financial Times, Manchester United or the BBC.

We are an Employee Ownership Trust. The people that work here own the company and share in its success. We're fully independent and will remain so. That means we can continue to do what we've always done: take the long view, build a business aligned to our values, invest in our people and their development, and innovate to improve the quality of our advice.
