Brainstorming Strategic Communications

Basic Premise Communications is a strategic consultancy working with social change organizations on issues in public health, human rights, redefining work, and the longevity revolution.

We deliver highly marketable big picture reframing and positioning of issues, always with a solid foundation in research.

We deliver thoughtful analysis and creative ideas, from slogans and names to in-depth reports of interest to the media and key audiences.

We understand that your relationship with funders is key. Because many funders of non-profit social change organizations today demand reportable impact, we work with you to both manage funder expectations and build research elements into your initial programming so there are objective measures of success and impact.

Past projects have included: a corporate social responsibility campaign of “report cards” on transnational corporations’ efforts to stop the killing in Darfur; a multi-year national public education campaign using empty shoes to raise public awareness of the risk of handgun violence; fundraising for emergency response gear for local firehouses and community hospitals; and an outreach program for a small non-profit organization whose stress-reduction program for family care givers has potential to change the paradigm of caregiving in the USA.
