To make that work for them, companies need proper journalism and best-practice story gathering expertise. Sometimes businesses and organisations need quality content at volume and high frequency. Sometimes they need strategy and a newsroom mentality to help them to become the sponsors and supporters of a debate around their industry. We are drawn from places that know how to do all that superbly: the Financial Times, Ogilvy, The Daily Telegraph and elsewhere. Companies then need to distribute their stories, to know where audiences reside in the digital age and how they talk to each other. FirstWord knows all about that too. In short, we translate marketing goals into suites of top quality editorial and deliver targeted readers and customers to the content on companies' own platforms. We are working with some of the biggest global groups on long-running activities that associate their names with the topics in which they are expert. We are also working with clients on shorter, more-focused bursts of activity around specific campaigns or launches. We help them with editorial calendars and the rigour required to hit a company's marketing topics with the right frequency. We are having a lot of fun: we really enjoy learning about our clients' businesses and gathering and telling the stories that their audiences want to hear. That's why we got into journalism in the first place. Show less
