Research Look before you leap It’s a wise carpenter’s rule that you should measure twice and cut once.

It’s much the same in communications.

In community, this means using qualitative techniques like information sessions, focus groups and key respondent interviews to better understand what needs to be communicated (and the best way to do it).

In education, this means carefully evaluating the curriculum opportunities and working with educators to create resources that meet their needs.

Looking before you leap can save a lot of grief.

Content Authentic, original and useful Good content is all about story telling—words, illustrations and images.

A good story needs authentic and original material that engages the audience and inspires participation.

We like to bring your stories to life through case studies, news articles or feature content. We transform bureaucratic jargon into effective communication.

We work with contributors to make their content read well and look good.

We publish, edit, generate and present content in print, use new media and video.

Services: content management; journalism and sub-editing; illustration; photography; animation and video.

CFA’s Fire Safe Kids resource was designed and produced by Edunity. The program received over 1000 responses from teachers in its first six weeks.

New media Making sense of new media First, it was important to have a website, then a website that was up-to-date, then...social networking, video content, Search Engine Optimisation, iPhone apps and everything on demand.

We’ve been using combinations of web pages, surveys, on-line petitions, social networking sites and email for cause marketing. Every case is different—we’d

Design Design in-house and beyond Great content deserves good design. And good design does not need to cost a fortune.

We work with our clients to find designers that suit their audience and budgets.

We may not be a specialist design house but we will find you what you want.

We have an eye for design and generally do basic projects (and author’s changes) in house.

But our most important role is guiding the project through from concept to completion; selecting text, images, illustrations, design, print and distribution to meet the brief.

We work with clients to get great presentation within an overall budget.

Services: graphic design; desktop publishing; illustrations, cartoons; logos; printing and delivery.
