Services We offer the following services: Building collaborative teams and networks Training in communication skills Interpreting science, and natural and cultural attractions
Are you working with specific groups or the wider community in decision making? We can help you with your engagement process. We are skilled at designing, implementing, analysing and evaluating community and specialised engagement programs. We have translated our engagement experience into a training
workshop and manual on best practice in community
engagement.
Do you need to find out more about the people you want to communicate with? We are skilled at social research and use focus groups, surveys and interviews to find out more about the perceptions, needs and concerns of target communities, groups and individuals. We are also
adept at desktop and literature research that aims to find out the
latest information about trends, issues and recent relevant research.
We can work with
you
to review your communication, determine communication strategies, plan
your communication, and test whether
it is meeting the needs of your partners as well as
achieving your objectives.
Building collaborative teams and networks Dr Michelle Riedlinger focused her PhD research on what makes collaborative networks or organisations work—both inside and out. And we have spent the past 12 years working with collaborative teams, helping them to communicate effectively internally and externally. We can help you develop a new collaborative network, review existing ones or advise on what the best procedures are if your collaboration is about to finish.
Training in communication skills Do you need to develop more confidence in dealing with the media, or giving a presentation or speech? Do you want to learn skills in engaging communities? Our workshops are designed for
scientists,
natural resource managers, and
people working in technical fields.
The best way to communicate is through stories—no matter who your audience! We specialise in writing stories that reflect the interests and information needs of your audience as well as the messages you want to get across. We tell the stories of people and places through media releases, feature articles, education kits, fact sheets, brochures, books, newsletters, ezines, websites, videos and photographs. Writing for the web is a lot different to writing for print. We can write your web content, repurpose your print publications, or review your existing content against current good practices. We write feature articles for specific audiences and publications—we would love to join your research or field expedition! We have lots of experience in managing the complete publication process, including design and printing.
We have the professional editing skills and experience to make your writing read well for its intended audience, in print or online. We professionally edit everything we write to the appropriate level and within the budget available. This can be a substantive edit where we look at
content, coherence, flow, structure, and suitability of language for the
reader; a copy edit where we make sure you will not be
embarrassed by any errors; or anywhere in between.
Interpreting science, and natural and cultural attractions Do you need to translate complex ideas into something that is simple and immediately understandable? Do you want to convey these ideas in a display, visitor centre or interactive exhibit? We are skilled at developing and
implementing interpretive plans for science and museum exhibitions and interactive
displays. We are also experienced in nature-based recreation and
tourism experiences that require visitor centres, walking trails and
signage.
Are you running a conference or media event? We can assist you with conference media management and with organising and/or promoting your event.
We can also manage your media
communication on an ongoing basis. We work with you to develop a media strategy to
achieve your objectives, and we help you to implement the strategy.
