ABOUT MPC

Martin Prendergast

MPC is led by Martin Prendergast, a former Director of Communications at the National Theatre, with over two decades of senior experience across the cultural sector.

Martin has worked with organisations across the UK on major partnerships, public affairs strategies, funding initiatives and organisational positioning, supporting leadership teams to translate artistic ambition into successful propositions for stakeholders, funders and partners.

His experience spans communications, corporate partnerships, public policy, fundraising and organisational strategy - a joined-up approach across these five closely related areas.

HOW WE WORK

MPC operates through a senior-led consultancy model. Martin works directly with clients as a trusted advisor to leadership teams, while drawing on a carefully selected network of specialist associates where additional expertise or delivery capacity is required. This approach allows organisations to access senior strategic judgement alongside flexible support, without the cost or complexity of building in-house teams.

For many projects, particularly communications and public affairs programmes, Martin works closely with associate Isabella Sharp, a communications and public affairs specialist with experience across the cultural and creative industries.
