OUR SERVICES

Research + Advocacy

AKA winning hearts and minds (and $)

You know how to help your community and clients, you just need money, land, political will and partnerships!

Reaching your audience is hard. When you do, you have minutes to win hearts and minds, prove the averted cost and get commitment. 

With over 20 years experience leading transformative place-based projects, we know what your audience needs to hear to get to yes. 

The perfect combination of unique expertise in the built environment, intimate knowledge of funding mechanisms and content creation that cuts through the noise - our research and advocacy services emerged organically to meet our clients’ needs. 

Your team can expertly define the problem, navigate the policy context and deliver services to your clients that make a profound difference. Chances are though, they are probably too:

  • busy

  • close to the coal face

  • inexperienced in scoping construction projects, benchmarking value-for-money for funders, copywriting, strategy and design

to craft concise, compelling collateral that will help you pursuade funders and partners. 

With trusted long-term collaborators across property advisory, cost planning, business case writing and graphic design, we can lead the perfect strategy and delivery to make your project possible. 

perfect if you want to:

  • demonstrate the need and how your place-based solution addresses it

  • secure funding and partnerships through targeted, concise and effective collateral 

  • effectively advocate for sector-wide change

  • “The research project that Anna has championed gives AHV design strategies that will be publicly available to all housing organisations, government departments and allied organisations working to improve opportunities for young Indigenous people.”
