About Us

Copywriting

Concise copy in a clear yet descriptive style can communicate your message effectively and bring your business to life.  Our copywriting can enrich your publications, marketing materials and website content, with anything from a few carefully chosen words, to in-depth articles and reports.

Editing

Careful editing can give a professional edge to any piece no matter how well written.  Our accurate and thorough editing can improve your image and may even increase hits to your website.

Information and Research

We offer a comprehensive and efficient secondary-source research service based on our own collections, public libraries and Internet databases.  We can also undertake certain types of primary source research.  Please contact us for details.

Indexing and Classification

Our indexing is clear and practical and can go into as much depth as required.  We can create a classification system tailored to your needs, or use an existing system, such as Dewey Decimal, LOC, or Colon classification, according to your requirements. 

Analysis

We use several systems for analysis and problem solving according to the needs of each individual project.  These include cost/benefit, SWOT, grid, critical path, pareto, causality and utilitarian.  We apply cognitive methods such as formal logic, brainstorming, lateral thinking, scientific method, morphology, counterpoint, synectics and synthetic dialogue to all our work.

Library

We maintain our own private reference library with several thousand volumes of reference books, maps, statistics, periodicals and directories.  We are acquiring new material and updating our collection regularly.
