What we do

We focus on areas where complex systems intersect with the lives and wellbeing of people. We work with clients across the board, but concentrate on two key areas: digital technology and the environment.

Our work varies from client to client and can include research and analysis, writing for decision-makers or public audiences, coordinating multi stakeholder teams, and document design. Get in touch if you’re interested in working with us or want to learn more about our work. Here are four of our core services:

 

Shaping and sharing narratives

We work with organisations to help develop clear narratives about their work that resonate with audiences. We also produce supporting graphics, video, blogs, newsletters, white papers, toolkits, and campaign plans. Where we don’t have the capacity in-house, we work with our network of talented designers, media producers and writers to make sure your story shines.


Research and writing for reports and strategies

We write engaging, accessible reports that help decision-makers understand key issues and take action where needed. We can either lead and manage projects from research to final draft, or we can embed in a team — preferably from the beginning, but we can also come onboard later in the process. Depending on the project, we can contribute policy analysis, lit reviews, landscape scans, or design and layout services.


Document triage

We can help to fine-tune your report or white paper before it’s sent out into the world. We bring fresh eyes and editing skills to help revise (or completely overhaul) draft documents, ensuring the key messages are strong, the language is clear and precise, and the structure is easy to follow so it resonates with your audience. We offer a short turnaround service for tight deadlines.


Essay and opinion writing

We write essays and articles about technology, the environment and how they interact with daily life for a range of publications. We are open to commissions, and can also develop proposals on specific topics of interest. We’re adept newsletter guest editors and can bring our brand of thoughtful weird to your project.
