A significant portion of our work is making research matter. We can work with you to release new research or gather, synthesize, and translate related research in the field to support your ideas in ways that are useful to policymakers, practitioners, and the public . We partner with opinion researchers to conduct focus groups and gather polling information about key audiences.  We also conduct specific research on education and workforce communication, from benchmarking best communications practices of agencies and nonprofits to studying how the media covers key issues and what is working and not working in emerging campaigns.

Services in this area include:

• Supporting efforts to secure funding for client research projects

• Writing, editing, and publishing major research reports

• Conducting research in education and higher education communications

• Developing communications plans and announcing new research

• Promoting existing and new research.
