The studio behind the story.
Story in Motion is a communications studio for renewables and clean-tech teams who need their story told with precision, credibility and commercial intent. We help founders, investors and communications teams turn complex progress into narratives that open doors: with investors, with media, with partners.
Renewables and clean energy is our home ground. We also take selected work in telecoms, technology, business and B2B communications where the story has real stakes and the client wants senior thinking.
Founded by someone who has lived both sides of the story
Erhumu Bayagbon spent over two decades building and protecting the reputations of some of Africa's most prominent organisations, before bringing that experience to the UK.
His career began in the newsroom. As a journalist with The Guardian in Nigeria, he covered arts, media and entertainment, learning early that the best stories are not just well-written. They are well-timed, well-placed and built on something true.
That instinct followed him into corporate communications. At Airtel Nigeria, he spent nearly two decades rising from customer care through media relations to Head of Public Relations, and ultimately Acting Director for Corporate Communications and Sustainability. He led communications through product launches, reputational crises, regulatory moments and market shifts, at scale, under pressure, with seniority.
He arrived in the UK in 2022 and has since worked with the Great British Railway Transition Team, Wimbart, one of Africa's leading PR agencies, and Cumberland Lodge, the historic UK policy and leadership foundation.
He has worked across Nigeria, the African continent and the United Kingdom. He understands what it takes to tell a story that travels and lands.
Why Story in Motion
The clean energy transition is one of the most important stories of our time. But too many of the companies doing genuine, necessary work are communicating poorly, or not at all.
Investors cannot back what they cannot understand. Partners will not engage with what they cannot trust. Media will not cover what they cannot explain.
Story in Motion exists to close that gap, with clear thinking, clean writing, and delivery that ships.
We bring newsroom discipline to corporate communications. We bring African market fluency to UK-facing narratives. And we bring senior judgement to every project, not just the big ones.
The same rigour applies whether we are working with a clean energy startup, a telecoms brand, a technology business, or a B2B company navigating a critical moment in its growth.
