Firms operating in today's defence and security space face an increasingly crowded, competitive and chaotic operating environment to realize strategic impact and desired business outcomes.

Who We Are
At Syntax, our Defence and Security Communications Division is driven by unmatched expertise. Our team includes former military and police professionals, journalists who have reported from conflict zones and military operations/exercises, and departmental communicators who have worked inside the Department of National Defence and on the front lines of public service.
We are security clearance cleared, TSPS & Pro-Services-qualified, and trusted to deliver professional services across departments and agencies. From strategic messaging to crisis response, and from media operations to stakeholder engagement, we help defence organizations communicate clearly, credibly, and confidently.
