Creative, Cost-effective Solutions

The writing [in Seascapes] conveys exactly the right thought brilliantly.

We work closely with our clients to understand their needs, and we are dedicated to providing creative, successful, and cost-effective solutions. Some clients hire us to handle a project or program in its entirety—from conducting a needs assessment to planning a communications strategy to launching the finished product. Other clients ask us to write a white paper or article, edit an existing manuscript, provide photography, create a graphic, set up a web page, or flesh out their ideas for a new web-based information resource. Sometimes clients don’t know exactly what they need, and we help them figure it out. We thrive on the creative challenge of understanding what’s needed and then delivering it.

Communications

We develop communications strategies and produce the full range of publications and websites. One of our clients has referred to us as providing “one-stop shopping” for every stage of the communications life-cycle from developing the concept to delivering the final product to evaluating the outcomes.

Science and Management

We offer domain expertise in the science and management of coastal and marine ecosystems. This expertise enables us to assist clients with strategic planning and programmatic challenges such as engaging stakeholders, identifying management priorities, and developing solutions to environmental concerns.

We provide the following services and also work on projects that do not fall neatly into these categories.

Web Development and Maintenance

Creating and maintaining web-based resources from single web pages to entire websites, including databases and interactive maps.

Needs Assessments

Quantitative or qualitative studies to identify needs of target audience and ways to address the needs.

Communication Strategies

Planning for single- or multi-platform communication programs (web and/or print).

Project Management

Ensuring that projects are completed successfully on schedule and under budget.

Concept Development

Exploring, developing, and refining ideas for print and web projects.

Information Synthesis

Background research to collect information from documents, interviews, and/or other sources. Producing summaries and evaluations that draw on multiple sources.
