Communications and Engagement
Co-creating equitable and innovative solutions through fun, open, inclusive dialogue!
Our diverse experiences allow us to communicate and engage audiences in conversations around environmental and regulatory policy issues, climate action and resiliency planning, sustainability programming, and environmental justice and equity.
Our expert facilitation team is skilled at working with various stakeholders whose interests and motivations might range from hedging risk, minimizing environmental impact, ensuring equity, reducing cost, improving safety, and/or managing public relations. We excel at communicating technical data and reports to a broad, non-technical audience, whether that is through interactive data visualizations, websites, outreach materials, or in-person conversations. By working with our clients to understand the project goals, relevant stakeholders, and unique aspects of each community, we develop a stakeholder and public engagement process that will ensure your project is supported and successful.
We provide targeted stakeholder engagement.
Your community or organization is full of experts well-versed in the opportunities, challenges, and goals regarding climate action, adaptation, equity, and overall sustainability. We develop customized stakeholder engagement processes to ensure that your future sustainability work builds off internal knowledge, industry best practices, upcoming sustainability trends, and the latest technology and policy developments.
We develop engagement processes that empower participants and achieve our clients’ goals.
We know that every project and every audience has varying needs, levels of understanding, learning styles, and comfort with technology. We also know that stakeholders who enjoy their engagement experience will have higher levels of participation in the entire process and help to create more impactful outcomes for our clients. Using various engagement tools, we have built virtual and in-person engagement processes that ensure that stakeholders and community members understand their role, can provide meaningful feedback, and have fun while doing it.
We have processes to effectively gather and optimize community feedback.
We have experience creating tools and forums through which your community members can provide feedback regarding your sustainability initiatives. From broad constituent surveys and large public events to small focus groups and everything in between, we ensure that you understand and can address the sentiments of your constituents. These hopes and concerns will then be factored into the development of your sustainability programs and policies.
We excel at communicating your sustainability efforts.
We help our clients communicate and report on their sustainability work in a way that engages and informs a broad audience. From building websites to developing informative infographics and marketing materials, we ensure that complicated topics are presented in a way that is accessible and understandable to your audience. We amplify climate action messaging through effective and engaging social media campaigns. We thrive on the opportunity to share your story, celebrate your successes, and communicate your sustainability work in a way that uplifts and unites those impacted.
We help climate action work get funded.
We are grant writers and researchers who have a network of other experts in the field to ensure climate action receives funding for implementation. We connect our clients with opportunities that will support their work even after our time with them.
