On May 23, 2025, a letter was published in the Financial Times letters page defending corporate sponsorships of the arts. According to Freedom of Information requests filed by campaign group Culture Unstained and shared with DeSmog, this letter was drafted by Brunswick Group as part of its work for its client Sadler’s Wells. Brunswick also helped coordinate the letter signatories, which included Brunswick clients the V&A, British Museum, Southbank Centre, and the National Theatre. Brunswick Group also liaised with National Gallery Director Gabriele Finaldi and Science Museum Director Ian Blatchford regarding the letter, and both organisations eventually signed it.377Ellen Ormesher. “How a Big Oil PR Firm Helped Top UK Cultural Institutions Defend Their Fossil Fuel Sponsorships,” DeSmog, December 17, 2025.378
According to a Brunswick Group document forwarded to V&A Director Tristram Hunt by Sir Alastair, co-director of Sadler’s Wells, the publication date of the letter in the Financial Times was intended to mark the one-year anniversary of the Edinburgh International Festival’s decision to end its 20-year funding partnership with Bailie Gifford. The festival dropped the Scottish fund manager following pressure from authors and others working in the publishing industry over the company’s investments in fossil fuels and arms.379Ellen Ormesher. “How a Big Oil PR Firm Helped Top UK Cultural Institutions Defend Their Fossil Fuel Sponsorships,” DeSmog, December 17, 2025.
The letter argued that “Our museums, theatres, festivals and artists need to operate within the economic structures in which society operates… we must find a way to show that cultural organisations contribute to a better world, and partnership with business and philanthropy is an admirable and valuable part of that mission.” The text also quoted Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy’s warning in a February 2025 speech that “moral puritanism” towards corporate funding risks “killing off” arts and culture.380Ellen Ormesher. “How a Big Oil PR Firm Helped Top UK Cultural Institutions Defend Their Fossil Fuel Sponsorships,” DeSmog, December 17, 2025.381

Freedom of Information requests filed by campaign group Culture Unstained and shared with DeSmog revealed that Brunswick Group proposed to develop an 18-24 month communications strategy for the performing arts theatre Sadler’s Wells.382Ellen Ormesher. “How a Big Oil PR Firm Helped Top UK Cultural Institutions Defend Their Fossil Fuel Sponsorships,” DeSmog, December 17, 2025. This was against a backdrop of growing protests urging Sadler’s Wells to cut ties with its sponsor, Barclays, a British bank, due to the bank’s investments in fossil fuels and arms.383Hannah Davenport. “Climate protesters storm theatre show over Sadlers Wells fossil fuel sponsorship,” Left Foot Forward, September 1, 2023.

The November 2024 communications strategy brief devised by Brunswick Group suggested Sadler’s Wells core message should be ‘Dance Matters.’ A diagram depicted issues Sadler’s Wells should engage on, including “culture as a driver for the economy.” Sadler’s Wells’ leadership would later repeat this Brunswick-devised language in their letter published in the Financial Times in May 2025. “Ethical funding,” “culture as a target for activism,” and “government culture policy” were all greyed out—marking them as issues that Sadler’s Wells should avoid.385Ellen Ormesher. “How a Big Oil PR Firm Helped Top UK Cultural Institutions Defend Their Fossil Fuel Sponsorships,” DeSmog, December 17, 2025.386

It appears that BP embarked on the campaign as recommended by Brunswick Group. In 2018, BP held an event to promote reductions in methane leaks. Princeton professors attended the event, and BP subsequently announced that it was “supporting” Princeton “to improve scientific understanding of methane.”524 “BP Confidential files: Issues Management Working Group IMWG Meeting Notes – 25 September 2017 Caspian 4.53, 14.00 – 17.00,” US Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Archived December 16, 2022.

A draft BP document from 2018, released by the U.S. Congress’s House Committee on Natural Resources, shows that BP planned to continue to hire Brunswick Group to provide “strategic development and content creation” for the gas and methane campaign from 2019 to 2020, for a fee of $350,000. The ongoing campaign aimed to “Position BP as [a] strong gas player” and would continue to position BP as a leader on methane leaks. It would also center gas as a “key part of BP’s low carbon strategy” and “Explain the benefits of gas as a transition and destination fuel – lower carbon; partner to renewables; vital to meet Paris goals.” As with the previous campaign strategy, the intention was to leverage Princeton, Imperial College, and the University of Edinburgh to advance campaign goals. The document specified that the target audience was “opinion leaders,” and that the campaign would seek to “set context for successful local policy dialogue.”526“BPA_HCOR_00306762,” U.S. House Oversight Committee, Accessed July 5, 2024.
