Regional expansion Sandpiper is actively expanding in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia and Australia-New Zealand, with new leadership appointments and office openings. This signals a need for scalable, local-market intelligence, crisis preparedness, and reputation management capabilities to support rapid growth and market entry strategies.

AI driven offerings The launch of Sandpiper Vantage, an AI-powered real-time solution, indicates a shift toward tech-enabled insights and faster response capabilities. This presents a cross-sell opportunity for existing clients to adopt advanced reputation monitoring, crisis forecasting, and data-driven public affairs support.

Executive leadership New senior hires such as Global Head of Content, Innovation and Crisis Communications and regional General Managers imply expanding client advisory capacity and cross-border capabilities. This creates opportunities to position Sandpiper as a premium partner for complex, multi-market reputation and policy programs.

Thought leadership Annual reputational studies like the Reputation Capital Scorecard 2026 and participation at the World Economic Forum enhance credibility. Leverage these assets to upsell comprehensive advisory services, executive briefing packages, and investor relations support for corporate clients seeking enhanced stakeholder engagement.

Scale and profile Being named Asia Pacific Large Consultancy of the Year and sustaining rapid growth signals strong market demand for Sandpiper’s integrated services across health, finance, technology, professional services, consumer brands, and energy sectors. Target mid-to-large enterprises in these sectors with bundled reputation, policy, and research offerings.
