“Many a time Clients embark on projects with the end-product in mind but overlook the importance of having a sound and concrete content foundation at the very beginning. This is where our core service come in. We internalize your intent, purpose and end-objective and structure your content for you to translate to various media; publication, video or campaign.”

The input from Clients can be manifested in several end-products in which the most common deliverables include brochures, prospectus, annual reports, corporate video, campaign, press, kit, and many more. Whilst in most instances designing the end-products may be challenging, it is actually having the right content to build the design on that prove to be more mind boggling. With our Clients overwhelmed by the availability of input, prioritizing and putting the ideas in perspective; we facilitate them by preparing the first draft content that they could further refine to fit meet their overall corporate aspiration and objectives.

CORPORATE PROFILE!

WHY US? All businesses and organizations want to receive a significant return on their investment in PR, and because we are not a large, international agency with hundreds of clients, we are able to offer our clients a much more personal service - this also means we have fewer overheads and are able to offer big agency service and results, at a small agency price. BECAUSE WE ARE SPECIALIZED: Many people in

BECAUSE HIRING US IS COST EFFECTIVE: When

your organization may be able to take on a necessary PR or communications assignment, but few can do the job as quickly and as effectively as someone who specializes in them; who everyday lives and breathes PR and Communications. By allowing us to undertake all your PR

you tally up the costs of hiring an employee to take on a task versus bringing us in to perform the same task, going with us maybe more cost advantageous. You do not have to pay for our health insurance, EPF, bonus, performance incentives; consider promotion and salary increment; or extend other benefits accorded to your permanent employees. Hiring people like us is a costeffective alternative for many organizations that require PR and Communications services quickly and efficiently.

and Corporate Communications needs, people in your organization can now stay focused on other key activities and initiatives of the company

BECAUSE WE ARE OBJECTIVE, OUTSIDE THIRD PARTY: We may often bring a fresh point of view to your organization. Sometimes we could offer new approach to your communication plans. We could lend a third party feedback on the achievement of your communication goals – aspects that are obvious only when “seen” from the outside of your organization circle.

BECAUSE WE HAVE DEDICATED TIME: Time maybe a precious element among your existing staff. A person or a unit maybe assigned to a project and then later taken off the project because of conflicting priorities but we, on the other hand, can focus on the task or project until the work is satisfactorily completed.

BECAUSE WE ARE FLEXIBLE RESOURCE : We make time for our clients, on a moment’s notice. If you employ someone new to take on any PR or Communications assignment, you could spend months to place advertisements, perform interviews and reference checks, make final selection, and bring a new employee on board.

BECAUSE HIRING US ELIMINATES LONG TERM OBLIGATION : When someone in your organization completes a project, you may have to relocate or reassign him/her. When we complete our term / assignment / project, we move on without costing our clients any liability – termination notice, layoff compensation, severance pay, nothing. We aspire to develop long-term relationship with our clients but only when our clients desire the same.
