Often this means helping organizations and teams unlock and better articulate their internal knowledge, translating it into compelling stories, foresight, and more a resilient, future-facing strategy.We identify and articulate the story of what an organization actually does, who it does it for, how it does it well, and how it can do it better. Our approach has been honed over many decades of award-winning work in editorial, reporting/analysis, foresight, branding, design, publishing, and media production. https://folio.no-media.co/our-work-areas-1 Thu, 26 Oct 2023 16:59:23 +0000 No Media Co https://folio.no-media.co/our-work-areas-1 Our work areas Strategy, planning, and foresight ︎︎︎ landscape and sector analysis︎︎︎ stakeholder and audience understanding︎︎︎ foundational research reports︎︎︎ internal culture and risk analysis︎︎︎ platform assessment and gap analysis Storyfinding, content, and creative exploration︎︎︎ knowledge translation︎︎︎ storyfinding︎︎︎ brand articulation and redefinition︎︎︎ story planning, writing, editing ︎︎︎ field research and reporting︎︎︎ design fiction prototyping Publishing and production︎︎︎ from concept to launch and end product︎︎︎ publishing strategy ︎︎︎ print design and production︎︎︎ web design&nbsp;︎︎︎ archival platforms ︎︎︎ ongoing publishing support and execution https://folio.no-media.co/Ver-3-0-Buckslip-call-out Thu, 26 Oct 2023 15:43:27 +0000 No Media Co https://folio.no-media.co/Ver-3-0-Buckslip-call-out <img width="740" height="420" width_o="740" height_o="420" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e5a50fae1caa847879f36a3ccf67afc90d98fd6bcc6f6e73ff54c4d0b68af0f8/bs-trans-for-now.png" data-mid="196512248" border="0" data-scale="64" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/740/i/e5a50fae1caa847879f36a3ccf67afc90d98fd6bcc6f6e73ff54c4d0b68af0f8/bs-trans-for-now.png" /> ︎︎︎&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Subscribe to Buckslip — No Media’s semi-regular email newsletter, in which we wander the landscape that we’re all living through together, and weave a few sensemaking threads from what we find.
