Campaigns
YOUR NEED
You want to raise public awareness about an issue

You are ready to advance policy or legislative action on an issue
Campaigns can be powerful for bringing about awareness, education and change on an issue. To achieve the desired results, careful planning is essential. The campaign team has to manage multiple and often competing work streams to ensure the message resonates powerfully and breaks through a cluttered media environment, the right partnerships are set up with effective on the ground activation, and evaluation is carried out. Our team has deep experience launching award-winning large scale private and public sector awareness building and advocacy campaigns.

Multi-sector Partnerships
YOUR NEED
You are looking to build partnerships to advance your issue
You want your grantees to collaborate on an issue
You are planning a conference, convening or day of action
You need to build or scale a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program
There is no doubt that power comes in numbers and partnerships--by harnessing the power of diverse expertise and collective action--can be transformative forces for social change. However, if not crafted and steered carefully, they can not only fail to reach their full potential, but may create intractable conflicts that hinder or worse, halt critical work. Our team has experience in building and managing high functioning cross-sector partnerships grounded in a strong strategic agenda and results-oriented governance structure that ensure trust, collaboration, a safe space for divergent points of views and most critically, an action focused mindset.

You need to articulate your case to funders and partners

You are building or updating your marketing strategy or developing a new website
In an increasingly crowded social impact space, how an organization or program articulates its unique mission and vision can be the difference between success and failure. Organizations can harness the power of compelling storytelling to spur growth by increasing program participation, securing funding support, enabling partner mobilization, and attracting new talent. Our team will bring their experience crafting strategic narratives for some of the most influential brands to touch people’s hearts and minds and most critically, motivate them into action.

Applied Evidence
YOUR NEED
You want to disseminate your research and see it applied in practice
You are looking to build an evidence-informed case for your issue or program
You want to educate your staff on the latest science
You need to strengthen your philanthropic strategy through evidence
Using evidence to inform initiatives, not only serves to strengthen the quality of the programming and makes for a more robust evaluation, but it also engenders buy-in and alignment on the intention of the program among stakeholders. However, in practice identifying, analyzing and translating evidence can be challenging. Our team will bring their experience in conducting research and evaluation, and collaborating with subject matter experts to anchor your initiative in science. Moreover, our experience in the translation of research to practice can broaden the impact of your research.
