Over the past year, the HappyHQ and Litmus Communications teams have been working closely together, and it’s clear we’ve got something special. What began as a natural overlap of services has now become a meaningful collaboration.
Today, we’re excited to reintroduce the refreshed, reimagined HappyHQ.
We’ve officially joined forces with Litmus, combining expertise in culture and communications strategy with hands-on team and leadership development. Francesca O’Connor, founder of Litmus Communications, has come on board as co-founder of HappyHQ, alongside Janine Jacobs and Louisa Mordaunt. Francesca brings incisive leadership and team development skills, complementing the people-first expertise already at the heart of HappyHQ.
The perfect match
Culture and communication aren’t just connected – they’re inseparable. When they’re in harmony, they build trust, nurture collaboration, and inspire momentum. But when they’re out of sync, miscommunication slows progress, silos develop, and energy is lost.
This merger allows us to tackle both culture and communication together, offering businesses the clear, complete support their teams need to grow and succeed. By blending HappyHQ’s strength in culture and communications strategy with Litmus’s complementary expertise in team and leadership development, we’ll deliver tailored solutions that help businesses (and their people) excel.
HappyHQ’s areas of expertise
Culture strategy
We help businesses define and live their values – not just plaster them on a wall. Culture should be felt, not just stated. When done right, a healthy working culture boosts engagement, performance, and team pride.
Better communication
This has always been the focus at Litmus and is part of what Fran will bring to HappyHQ: helping teams communicate, cut through confusion, and collaborate better. It’s the difference between working together and just working in the same room.
Leadership development
Strong leadership starts with strong communication. We equip leaders to inspire, connect and lead with clarity – whether that’s through team conversations, keynotes or high-stakes meetings. Our public speaking training helps every voice be heard and remembered – in the business, and beyond it.
Team dynamics
High-performing teams don’t happen by accident. Our interactive workshops (including our signature LEGO® Serious Play® sessions) help teams build trust, work through challenges, and problem-solve creatively – together.
Employee engagement
Culture and communication are the engines of engagement. We help businesses create environments where people feel seen, valued, and excited to contribute. Not just on paper, but in practice.
What sets HappyHQ apart?
People-first strategies
No fluff, no gimmicks – just a genuine belief that business works better when people are happy, heard and empowered.
Proven methods
From LEGO® Serious Play® to hands-on leadership coaching, our tools are playful, practical and powerful.
Jargon-free, real results
We speak human, not corporate. Our work makes sense, feels relevant, and drives progress you can actually see.
What’s next?
This isn’t just a rebrand, it’s the next chapter. A bolder, brighter version of HappyHQ, grounded in the same people-first values we’ve always championed. With culture and communication working hand-in-hand, we’re helping businesses make lasting change that sticks.
We’re ready to help you energise your team, strengthen your leadership, and build a culture that genuinely works.
