Services

The logistics of thought leadership, refined over a decade, and trusted by traditional and digital media organizations across North America.

Monthly or quarterly plan subscribers meet regularly with consultants and media producers to refine the curation, creation and promotion of our Thinkbait content.

Thinkbait Content

Research

Taking some time to learn about the subject, brand and industry makes our Thinkbait all the more useful, and cuts down on editing time.

Writing

Enlightening, useful content by skilled writers. We help brands cut through the clutter with messaging that resonates and engages.

Social Media

Less is more. We help media personalities and people-focused brands harness the educational power of social networks.

Writing and Editing

No time to write? We’ve heard that before! With remarkable efficiency, our producers will keep your blog, news page, newsletter or website copy fresh, relevant, accurate and — most importantly — true to your voice. We call it Thinkbait.

Social Media Management

Our Thinkbait philosophy applied to social networking: Quality over quantity. Every morning, we carefully curate organic content and write informative, enlightening posts on behalf of engaging brands. Every social network is different and should be used differently!

Thinkbait Web Events

It’s easier than ever to broadcast to a wide audience within seconds via streaming services like YouTube. Caution is in order! Live broadcasts require careful planning. We can research, script, coordinate and promote your livestream or other online event, even if it’s a simple tweet-storm or AMA (Ask Me Anything).

Thinkbait Live Events

Events and hosting with a thoughtful touch. Our Thinkmates can plan, host and run your intimate event, as well as promote your brand at street level with an aim to engage audiences in thought-provoking conversation.

Translation

Our translator-producers, specializing in Canadian English and French, are master communicators, skillfully analyzing full texts and prioritizing cultural or political considerations over literal translation; the words don’t have to all be the same, but the core meaning should be.
