Communication & Media

Writing and communication management services are used by UN, EU, and other institutional websites, publications, films, and social media news.

Communication skillsets are employed to boost visibility of client interests such as optimising governance of public and private sector policy for food chains, sustainable tourism, climate, environment, economic development, and other thematic areas including islands, financing, nutrition, and social welfare.

Services create and run international institutional communication strategies and campaigns (including content and KPI coordination) using online or event-based storytelling and networking for public and private sectors.

Technical expertise produces professional video and photojournalism features for specified target audiences telling policy, programme or project stories analysing growth, development, sustainability, inclusion, and resilience.
