SERVICES
Digital: design, build and content
Not only can we design and build you a digital platform but we can create the content for it too. We have in-house digital capabilities and we work with expert technology partners.
We deliver the technology and the content.
Project management from start to finish
Managing communications projects from start to finish is our speciality. We will coordinate the different parts of the job and save you time, money and worry.
Just give us the brief and we will do the rest.
Writing, editing and proofreading
We write in a variety of styles and adjust the tone to match your audience. We can edit your material, providing a quick copy-edit, a technical edit or a major re-write.
Get well written, high quality prose.
Design, multilingual layout and graphics
Strong design engages readers and so we spend time to get this right. We specialize in multilingual layouts. We also create informative graphics and find relevant images.
We make your words look good – in print and digital.
Multilingual technical translation
Our translators are fully qualified, native speakers who know our subject areas well. We regularly translate into and from all the official UN languages and others.
We deliver complex multi-language projects.
Multimedia and digital services
Modern communications is a multimedia affair and we operate across all digital media and print formats. We adapt your content and tailor it to the particular medium.
We make your messages work across all media.
Rapid response and rush jobs
Sometimes even the best-run organizations need to get things done in a hurry. We have the capacity, resources and experience to turn projects around quickly.
Whatever the job, we can get it done fast.
Infographics and data analysis
If a picture can tell a thousand words then infographics can present complex information clearly. We analyse your data and find simple, visual ways of presenting it.
Enhance your story with infographics.
