Campaign Strategy & Creative Communications

We create campaigns that combine clear goals with creative tactics that actually engage people. From compelling visual campaigns to strategic messaging, we help organizations communicate complex issues in ways that move people from awareness to action.

Recent work:

• Cross-border advocacy campaigns on digital rights and surveillance technology

• Community organizing campaigns connecting local and global struggles

• Creative resistance strategies for organizations facing government repression

• Multi-platform communications campaigns for human rights organizations

• Event-focused activations such as launch parties, art exhibitions, film screenings, and workshops

Collaborative Research & Strategic Planning

We conduct collaborative research with partner organizations around the world to understand what's actually happening on the ground, analyze the social, technical and political context, and document tactics that work across different contexts.

We work alongside organizations to develop strategic plans that guide decision-making and adapt as conditions change. Our planning processes bring diverse stakeholders together to build shared analysis and coordinated action.

What we provide:

• Research on the threats facing civil society and organizational digital security and operational security assessments

• Participatory community-based research

• Policy analysis and advocacy strategy development

• Landscape mapping, needs assessments, and trend analysis

Impact Evaluation

We help organizations understand what's working through evaluation approaches that serve learning and adaptation, not just donor reporting. Our evaluations focus on meaningful questions: Are we reaching the right people? Are tactics building toward goals? What are we learning that should change our approach?

Evaluation services:

• Campaign and program impact assessments

• Participatory evaluation with partners and communities

• Developing monitoring systems for adaptive and responsive campaigns

• Documentation of movement strategies and outcomes

Targeted Trainings & Capacity Building

We design and deliver interactive and engaging trainings where people leave with practical skills they can use immediately. From digital security for activists facing surveillance to creative campaign design for advocacy organizations to facilitation skills for movement leaders, our trainings are tailored to specific contexts and needs. We train in ways that respect participants' existing knowledge and build on their experience.

Training areas:

• Creative campaign strategy, strategic communication, and tactical design

• Preparations and simulations for major political events such as elections and Internet shutdowns

• Digital security and operational security for high-risk environments

• Research methods for activists and action

Cross-Border Solidarity & Network-Building

The best strategies come from movements learning from each other. We build networks connecting activists across borders. We facilitate knowledge exchange, share tactics that work, and create spaces where movements can learn from each other's wins and losses.

What this looks like:

• Connecting activists fighting similar battles in different countries

• Facilitating strategy sessions and knowledge sharing across movements

• Creating platforms and information spaces for movements to teach and learn from each other

• Documenting and circulating strategies that travel across contexts

The Big Hope Project: Learning Communities for Hard Times

When systems fail and the future feels uncertain, people need community, practical skills, and strategies for staying invested and hopeful.

The Big Hope Project creates learning communities where people come together to build power through education and connection. Five different communities tackling different challenges: raising resilient kids, learning from global resistance movements, building mutual aid networks, sustaining creative practice as resistance, and navigating professional transitions after career loss.

These are year-long community practice networks combining reading, skill-building, peer support, guest speakers, and hands-on projects. Spaces where people process hard realities, develop concrete skills, and build the relationships that sustain resistance over years, not just weeks.
