About

A snapshot of Sookio

Sookio is a communications consultancy in Cambridge founded by Sue Keogh, who built and scaled the business into a highly successful digital marketing agency over a period of 16 years, delivering brilliant strategy, content and campaigns to clients in education, healthcare, life sciences and tech, B2B and the public sector.

We won a lot of awards along the way, and created innovative work experience initiatives which gave 100s of young people from diverse backgrounds a leg-up into careers in marketing and the creative industries.

In 2024 we pivoted to become a consultancy. We work closely with senior leadership teams who value an external perspective on their communications, bringing fresh energy and 25+ years of industry expertise to help you think beyond the structures of your organisation and solve critical communications challenges now, and in the future.

Our values

Innovation for the betterment of society

Based in the thriving Cambridge ecosystem with the University as its beating heart, we’re surrounded by startups, spinouts and prestigious institutions driving progresss in sustainability, healthcare and responsible tech. The spirit of entrepreneurship and sense of possibility is infectious.

Always keeping abreast of industry trends, we get a kick out of helping smart people articulate and communicate their ideas to the world, amplifying their message and accelerating growth.

Empowering others through knowledge, skills and opportunities

At advisory level, we shape the framework for a positive company culture which drives results. Strategically, we upskill marketing teams and have trained 1000s of people to enable them to use their talents for commercial success. We have always banged the drum for accessible content and digital inclusion, and do what we can to encourage more diverse talent into the industry.

Best practice in communication

With a wealth of experience across print, digital, radio, TV, and social media campaigns – working with the BBC, ITV, Yahoo, AOL, Government Digital Service, the University of Cambridge, and 100s of SMEs – we have a joy at seeing communications done well and always lead the way in best practice.

As well as influencing consumer behaviour, we want to get the foundations right too; we know how effective communication across organisational structures, leadership styles and among teams leads to a stronger performance above the surface.
