Research briefing series: Gold service
With the gold service we create a research briefing series over a long-term collaboration. We help you kick-start an organisation-wide initiative for disseminating your research expertise through a series of visually appealing and accessible documents.
We work with you from the initial concept through to the delivery of four visual products. We offer guidance and ongoing support every step of the way.
01
CONSULTATION FOR THE SERIES
Using our ‘Lean Research Canvas’, our gold service starts with a 3-hour in-depth consultation about the series of visual products you want to create, what motivates you to launch the series and what excites you most about this project.

CONCEPT AND DESIGN FOR THE SERIES
Working closely with you, we develop the look and feel of the series and create a template for your visual products, to meet the needs of your organisation and target audience.

EDITORIAL STAGE x4 VISUAL PRODUCTS
We work individually with each author at the editorial stage, crafting the key research messages and language (4 opportunities for feedback per visual product).

Research Retold have collaborated with us to initiate and develop a series of policy briefs for our research, teaching and knowledge transfer centre. Their unique selling point is their academic empathy which enables them to drill down and understand what it is we are trying to get at in text and visuals that other people can understand!

Taking a lead from my time as a finance lawyer, I had been pushing for a briefing series for some time, and Research Retold had the know-how to bring it into being. Mihaela’s professional approach delivered exactly what I was looking for, from the initial planning stage for the whole series to the swift turnaround of my own briefing note.
