What
We
Do
EDITORIAL
Clients turn to us as partners to help develop their ideas and communicate them in a compelling way. We offer full ghost-writing services and collaborative development of books, articles, white papers, policy briefs, and digital media, as well as more traditional editorial and writing services. We bring to the table uncommon intellectual engagement and deep knowledge of context and issues in a wide variety of fields.
CREATIVE
Some ideas are best communicated through prose; others through static visuals; still others through video or animation. We work in the medium that best fits the idea, providing graphic design, layout, Infographic, and animation design to help our clients serve their audience where they are.
RESEARCH
New ideas backed up by evidence have a far bigger impact than theory. Our experience designing surveys, managing research, and conducting data analyses pairs with our editorial and design services to allow clients to share meaningful findings through compelling narratives and graphics.
Our
Work
Our editorial, creative, and research work drives policy change and corporate strategy. Ideas we’ve shaped have been shared through major publications like the New York Times and the Washington Post, and our books and papers have been made essential reading in corporate boardrooms and foundation strategy sessions. Our work has won the Shingo Prize—awarded for outstanding contributions to the field of organizational excellence—three times.
