Section 01 / About the firm
The narrative infrastructure behind category-defining brands.
Megalith Communications is the senior-led, editorially-minded firm translating complex strategy into market-shaping stories — the partner VPs of Communications turn to when the message cannot afford to be misunderstood.
02 — Founding Story
An editorial desk meets a crisis room.
Megalith was founded in 2014 by two practitioners who had spent the previous decade arguing, in print and in boardrooms, that the same sentence could not simultaneously win a regulator and a front-page journalist.
Catherine Holloway arrived from a decade as a B2B technology editor, where she had watched a generation of well-funded companies fail to explain themselves to the people who mattered most — analysts, trade press, the buyers whose diligence cycles they could not see. Marcus Reeve arrived from a decade of crisis communications, where he had learned, in real time, what a single unguarded paragraph could do to a market cap.
They opened a four-desk office on Spear Street with a thesis: a category-defining brand needs a narrative infrastructure — not a press release schedule. Ten years later, that thesis is the operating principle behind every engagement the firm accepts.

06 — Research & Standing
Quiet proof of category leadership.
In 2022, Megalith published the communications industry's first open-source narrative benchmarking dataset — a structured corpus of how category-defining B2B brands have positioned themselves across media cycles since 2014.
The dataset is now in use by more than 1,800 in-house communications teams, and was cited in 2023 by Harvard Business Review as a reference for measuring narrative consistency. It is, in plain terms, the reason a Megalith engagement begins from a benchmark rather than from an opinion.
Since 2017, the firm has also held continuous accreditation from the International Communications Consultancy Organisation (ICCO) — the global trade body's standards-based review of agency operations, ethics, and senior-bench composition.
