Forge & Refine is a strategic communications and influencer relations consultancy. Our services include: EDITORIAL - Clients turn to us as partners to help develop their ideas and communicate them in a compelling way. We offer full ghostwriting services and collaborative development of books, articles, white papers and digital media, as well as more expansive content marketing and thought leadership strategy development. We bring to the table uncommon intellectual engagement and deep knowledge of the intersection between business and technology. CREATIVE – You have ideas and aren’t sure how to ‘place’ them in the world. Prose works for some ideas; others shine more clearly through visuals, video, or animation. We work in the medium that best fits the idea, providing graphic design, layout, infographic, and animation design to help our clients adopt the medium that best fits the message. INFLUENCER RELATIONS – A multitude of voices on both the business and IT sides influence technology buying decisions. Providers hoping to appear on buyers' shortlists must forge strong and intentional relationships with analysts and the media. We design new analyst relations and influencer programs and enhance existing ones by refining our clients' desired impact, crafting corresponding metrics, and cultivating the relationships needed to achieve them. STRATEGY – None of the above works if it isn’t connected to meaningful business priorities. Leveraging years of organizational development expertise, we help our clients build the robust bridges needed to other functional units to move the whole organization forward. Current clients include a leading global IT research and advisory firm, a U.S.-based Global 500 software company, a Japanese Global 500 technology services firm, an iconic US venture capital firm, an award-winning strategic analyst relations agency, a natural language processing AI solutions startup, and an international business performance improvement consultancy.
