What we can do for you
Proposals and RFP responses
Whether freeform or within the structure of an RFP, an effective proposal tells a story: who you are, why you're right for the job, how your experience backs up that claim, what you propose to do and how. Let us help you put your best foot forward.
Competition entries and project narratives
Even more than a proposal that bears your name, an anonymous entry has to go beyond simple presentation: it needs to stand in for you and engage jurors or viewers. That calls for a compelling narrative with an authorial persona that resonates with the qualities of your design.
Websites and social media
The blank canvas of your website, Facebook page, or Twitter feed can be daunting. Every kind of online communication has its own best practices. We can help you figure out what you want to say to a digital audience and how to organize your social media approach to showcase your work like a pro.
Journalism and press
Journalists work under extreme time pressure and are likely to make grateful use of whatever starting point you supply. Highlighting strategic themes using language that's irresistibly readable increases the odds that you'll get coverage you like.
Reports, project descriptions, fact sheets
Sometimes the simplest challenges are the hardest. Short or long, presentations of facts and numbers don't have to be dry or soulless.
And let's not forget the haiku-like demands of caption writing!
Professional submissions
Nominations for awards, exhibition material, fellowship and grant applications: they all call for intelligent and intelligible presentation that foregrounds what you want to communicate about yourself and your work.
Oral presentations
Words can seem like the easy part — until you have to speak them out loud. We are experienced and natural presenters who can coach you (even online), helping polish your speaking skills before you sit for an interview or present to an audience or jury. You'll learn to feel comfortable in front of audiences large or small.
Marketing and promotion
A lot of what we've been talking about can be put to work sharpening the business side of your practice too. Let's brainstorm about how our services can do double duty by building on or revamping your current marketing efforts.
Translation
We offer in-house services for German and Italian, both to and from English. For most other languages, we can coordinate translation as needed or work with the client's translator.
