Portfolio
Our work covers an extensive range of corporate communication challenges. Here is a sample.
Company history
From 2005 to 2007 we edited Tomorrow’s Answer’s Today: The History of AkzoNobel since 1646, a 100,000-word book which was published in 2008.
Since 2009 we have been working on a 50,000-word celebratory publication to mark the 25th anniversary of the founding of the humanitarian initiative Sight and Life. This is due for publication in 2012.
Compliance
In 2005 and 2006 we supported Royal DSM N.V. with the global roll-out of revised Corporate Requirements.
Company collateral
In 2009 we developed Transforming the Customer Experience, a brochure outlining the offering and aspirations of DSM Business Support. We followed this in 2010 with a similar publication for DSM Expert Center.
Corporate journalism
We edit and produce a number of magazines for client organizations. These range from printed publications to e-magazines, covering both external and internal communications. Clients include Sight and Life, DSM Pharmaceutical Products, DSM Business Support and DSM Expert Center.
Corporate reporting
We copy-wrote the 2007 and 2008 Triple P Reports (sustainability reports) for Royal DSM N.V.
Corporate films
In 2008 we supported BACARDI with the development of a film and accompanying booklet about the history and values of the BACARDI brand.
In 2010 we supported DSM Fibre Intermediates with the development of a film about a highly innovative process for the manufacture of Caprolactam, a precursor of nylon.
In 2011 we made a film for DSM Business Support to advertise the roll-out of a new DSM-wide system for the management of Travel & Expenses.
Development of award concepts
In 2005 we helped to develop and run the DSM Nutritional Products Dual Track Award in support of the roll-out of a new corporate strategy.
Editing
In 2007 we edited a comprehensive set of management reports for KPMG.
Employee engagement
In 2005 we supported DSM Nutritional Products with the creation of the DSM Nutritional Products Voyager, a mobile installation that travelled the world and told the story of the DSM brand.
Event management
In 2010 we helped DSM Business Support develop a trade fair for its internal customers. This was first trialed on employees of DSM Business Support and then, some months later, restaged in expanded form for customers.
We also plan and organise the biannual departmental meetings of DSM Business Support, at which key themes for the organization’s development are explored and factored into its strategy.
Ghost-writing
We ghost-write speeches, presentations, editorials and letters on behalf of business leaders and corporate communication departments.
Internal communications
Since 2003 we have created and edited over a dozen different internal magazines and newsletters for Royal DSM N.V. Most of these have run for at least two years and several have appeared in eight languages and had a global distribution. This editorial work is complemented by a wide range of activities from communication strategy development and planning to the running of meetings and staging of workshops.
Intranet development
Since 2003 we have developed, edited and maintained a number of Intranet sites for Royal DSM N.V., including the sites for the VITAL and True Blue projects and the site of DSM Business Support in the new Global Sharing Intranet environment.
Lecturing
In 2008 we gave a lecture on Merger and Integration Communications as part of the PG Diploma in Public Communication course run by Leeds Trinity & All Saints (Leeds University).
M&A
From 2003 to 2005 we supported Royal DSM N.V. with the two-year long integration of Roche Vitamins following DSM’s acquisition of that organisation.
Marketing Communications
Our marketing communications activities range from writing advertising copy through developing marketing brochures to editing websites. In 2008 we edited LC-PUFA – A guide to health benefits and market trends on behalf of the American Oil Chemists' Society (AOCS). This was followed in 2009 and 2010 by the development of milestone publications for DSM Nutritional Products about its Quality for Life™ seal and its new offerings in the fields of Infant Nutrition and Maternal Nutrition.
Media relations
We write press releases for a wide range of organizations operating in a variety of industrial sectors.
Not-for profit organizations
In 2007 and 2008 we helped with the branding and positioning of Perspectivity, a not-for-profit network that aims to provide scenario- and dialogue-based processes for the sustainable solution of complex social problems.
