Latest Offering

The Edit

North Seventy Five Launches The Edit, A New Home for Communications Training in the Middle East
and beyond.
North Seventy Five Launches a dedicated offering for communication training designed to help brands, organisations and individuals communicate with clarity, confidence, and influence, especially in an era of unprecedented change.

Across the Middle East and beyond, organisations are facing a perfect storm of complexity: accelerated digital transformation, rapidly shifting stakeholder expectations, geopolitical uncertainty, and an always-on media environment. These forces have created an urgent need for sharper communication capability inside organisations from the C-suite to everyday communicators.

Designed around real client needs, The Edit provides bespoke training experiences aligned to organisational priorities, capability gaps, and culture. The offering includes:

Talent & Capabilities Development through elevating capability across communications, strategy, creativity, leadership, reputation, and digital confidence;
Facilitation and Workshops with high-impact, interactive sessions designed to unlock clarity, alignment, and momentum;
Customised Programmes for bespoke learning journeys built around organisational goals, culture, and future needs;
Executive Coaching to help individuals & corporates embed new behaviours and sustain momentum beyond the everyday.

The North Code – Our AI offering

The North Code is how modern communication is done - faster, smarter and unmistakably human.
Built as an agentic system of specialist “brains” called November, Oscar, Romeo, Tango & Hotel, it brings together strategic intelligence, creativity and proof at every stage of the communications journey.

From decoding complex briefs and mapping power and influence, to generating ideas, shaping content and measuring impact in real time, AI accelerates the thinking while senior consultants guide, challenge and stress test every output.

This isn’t automation. It’s a smarter way of working that sharpens judgment, strengthens creativity and delivers work clients can stand behind. Secure, scalable and hard to copy, The North Code helps brands navigate high‑stakes environments where reputation, trust and outcomes matter most.

It’s not a tool.
It’s a single system.

Senior talent.
Serious tech.
Better work.

Ready to see what it could unlock for your brand? Let’s talk.
