Custom Research Services, Reports, and Presentations

Research services can encompass everything from brief memos on very specific or high-level topics to detailed reports and presentation decks that draw on extensive quantitative data sets and large-scale custom research projects.

Informative, reliable data may be pulled from leading public organizations or generated from custom studies.

Public data sets include extensive time series data by countries and other measures from leading international organizations.  For examples, please refer to the Global Sherpa site pages Data Sources, Charts & Tables, and World Rankings.

Depending on project budgets, custom market research in such forms as targeted polling, depth interviews, and focus groups can be conducted through a combination of internal resources and external agencies.  Sample sizes are developed to balance client needs related to project objectives, data reliability, and cost.

Marketing Consulting

Consulting and advisory services are designed to help non-profits, international organizations, small businesses, and places like countries and cities promote their benefits and encourage the interest and participation in cross-cultural interaction and collaboration.

Consulting services range from strategic branding and segmentation projects to more tactical measures aimed at building awareness, involvement, and loyalty.  Digital marketing services include advice and implementation support related to social media, search marketing, and article syndication.

Content and Article Writing

Custom content and articles like those on the Global Sherpa site can be written for your organization’s publications or PR and marketing materials.  Article length can range from a few hundred to several thousand words.  For internet content, articles can incorporate keyword sets that are developed to leverage the cost-effective marketing benefits of search engine optimization.

In the case of PR and marketing collateral, services will only be provided for projects that are consistent with Global Sherpa’s mission and guiding principles.

Educational Materials, Learning Tools, and Edutainment

A range of interactive learning tools and educational materials can be developed to help build public and students’ knowledge of and interest in topics involving international relations and foreign affairs.  Subject matter can encompass social studies, history, geography, and country or area studies.  More specific applications may focus on concepts, issues, and frameworks in such areas as development, globalization, urbanization, and the environment.

Examples of educational content and interactive learning tools include topical articles and presentations, quizzes, and word puzzles.  For samples, try taking Global Sherpa’s Amsterdam Quiz and Quiz on the 2010 UNDP Human Development Report.
