We know. You haven’t seen a company like us before. You can’t quite figure out how we can help solve your problems, so let’s talk about you first. All of our beloved clients or soon-to-be-clients are higher education institutions or cities/states/regions who want to communicate better with international students, researchers, and universities. We provide an outside perspective to help you define what is unique and attractive about your institution and market it effectively. Because we’re talking about reaching the whole wide world, this mostly means using the world wide web. Projects often include some or all of these services: editorial and writing, marketing and recruitment, strategy and research, training and assessment, and translation. Curious? Find out more about us.

We're happiest when we surpass a client's expectations. And we have some great clients. See who we've been lucky enough to work with. (Hint: You’ll find universities, universities of applied sciences, and business schools from across the world on the list, as well as the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), CampusFrance, the Institute of International Education (IIE), the German Rectors’ Conference (HRK), The Chronicle of Higher Education, the Partnership for Higher Education in Africa, and other major global higher education organizations.)

We know that international projects can seem overwhelming because of lack of budget or time. That’s why we’ll take projects starting at $200 – and there’s no over-estimating the impact that editing a few key pages can have.

To go a bit further, we have decided to offer $7,500 of our services to one or more universities. We’re not a big bureaucracy – we’re a small business who will mostly be deciding by gut feel how the money should be distributed. and there’s certainly room for creativity.

Read the guidelines for our pro bono initiative and submit an application by May 22. We’d love to hear from you!
