Services
We work with companies that believe they have a responsibility to lead and actively engage communities to the mutual benefit of all stakeholders; nonprofits, foundations, and others who are in the trenches, tackling society’s most pressing issues; and academic institutions determined to incubate and drive community-based social change.
Strategy
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Grounded in your company’s unique DNA, we develop business-aligned CSR strategies that engage employees, customers, and investors; build brand equity; and drive measurable impact in the communities you serve.
Nonprofit: Whether your organization is in need of a comprehensive strategic planning process or help with a fundamental strategy component, our expertise in mission development, capacity building, funding diversification, communications, and governance will set you on the path to impact-driven results.
Program Design and Implementation
As a critical activation of your mission or CSR strategy, our research-informed initiatives are designed to:
Be highly-responsive to community and stakeholder needs
Integrate with and strengthen existing programs
Adapt to shifts in internal or external environments
Continually increase organizational and social impacts by being measurable and iterative
Stakeholder Engagement and Strategic Partnerships
Partnering with diverse types of organizations is a powerful tool for generating innovative solutions to social challenges. By understanding the motivations, skills sets, and potential synergies across stakeholder groups, we help you build connections that have an impact far beyond what you can accomplish alone.
Strategic Communications
Impact strategies and initiatives are only as effective as how well they’re communicated to key stakeholders. Our comprehensive strategic communications offerings include:
Brand strategy and design
Content strategy, development, and amplification
Public relations and media planning
Event strategy and experience design
CSR and nonprofit reporting
Discovery & Assessment
All of our work is informed by listening intently and asking the right questions. By employing qualitative and quantitative research methods; analyzing the landscape in which you operate; and downloading institutional knowledge, we achieve short-term successes that intentionally support long-term, scalable impacts.
Impact Measurement
Assessing what changes occur throughout a project’s lifecycle — and how those changes impact each stakeholder group — is critical to the work we do. By mapping strategic goals and key indicators, we create an integrated feedback loop, allowing you to learn, adjust, and make better decisions about how to scale impact and optimize resources.
ESG Solutions
For our corporate clients, finding the balance between profit, transparency, social interests, and the environment is good for both business and society. We help you identify and prioritize critical environmental, social, and governance issues relevant to your organization.
Workshops
From collaborative workshops that inform strategic direction and get everyone on the same page, to training sessions that transfer our knowledge to your organization, we empower our clients “to fish” through a variety of approaches.
