Corsair Strategies

Corsair Strategies is an independent strategic communications practice founded by Josh Hoppen.

It was established to offer an alternative to the traditional agency model: senior-level thinking combined with direct execution, without unnecessary layers or infrastructure.

Corsair works with leadership teams, coalitions and growing organisations navigating complexity, competition or change. The focus is simple: clear positioning, disciplined communication and practical delivery that supports long-term growth.

This is not communications as cosmetic output. It is communications as structural support for reputation, credibility and expansion.

Corsair operates internationally from Barcelona, working across corporate, technology and institutional environments.
