CONSULTING AND STRATEGIC SERVICES

DEVELOPMENT OF STRATEGY OR CREATIVE PLAN

.

Our clients call on us to develop communications strategies. We peer and probe, analyzing the challenge and devising a thoughtful plan to address it.

We find economies of scale and the most cost-effective use of budget. We unearth any additional opportunities that the approach can offer. They cannot hide.


A strategic approach could include:
• Defining the challenge
• Assessing/analyzing needs
• Identifying audience(s)
• Identifying goals and defining operational objectives
• Defining success criteria
• Determining appropriate content
• Developing concept and treatment
• Identifying resources and constraints
• Recommending the most appropriate delivery method(s)
• Creating logistics plans and work flow
• Poising for continuous improvement

We deliver a strategy that provides the most expeditious route from your content to the mind and viscera of your audience.

We probe. We chat. We listen. We adapt. We invent.

When all goes well, we help you awe others.


FACILITION/BRAINSTORMING

We nudge out the creative in our clients.

It is our job to build an environment to nurture innovative thinking and problem solving and to painlessly extract ideas.

Through guided facilitation and a variety of brainstorming and think tank processes, we'll help clients dispassionately identify the challenge, explore options, see new relationships, and often blurt out an unrestrained "Eureka!"

We'll employ the same tools and techniques we use ourselves as creative designers to extract our own insights.

We can show clients how they tap into astounding vision already embedded inside, that needs only a little gentle poking from us to set free.


Together, after a facilitated session, we'll end up with a:
• A realistic and efficient work plan
• A common vision
• Consensus
