The role of a Consultant
Content development

Creating value through content development

​Engaging and informative content is the foundation of a high impact business plan, grant application or website. Strategic content development starts by thinking about your target audience - whether that is an investor, funding agency or customer: who are they, what do they want and need, how does your business meet their needs? By presenting your audience with the information that they are interested in and addresses their needs, you will capture their attention, demonstrate your expertise within your field and showcase your business’ strengths.
​
Strategic content development is more than putting together a few paragraphs of text — it requires a keen business sense and a thorough understanding of your business. We take an in-depth look at your business including meeting with staff, collaborators and reviewing competition before we start the content development process. Combining formal business training and case studies with real world business experience, we develop content that effectively targets your customers while maintaining a style and voice that represent your business.
