Maybe your communications have grown organically over time (a newsletter here, a social channel there) and no one has had the time to step back and look at how it all fits together. We can help you make sense of what you have, gather data and audience sentiment, and build a strong foundation for the next chapter of your communications ecosystem.
(You're feeling scattered or over capacity.)
Email + social media audits
Dig into your existing communications, analytics, audience engagement, and content to uncover practical opportunities for improvement.
Audience + messaging strategy
Clarify who you’re trying to reach, what they need from you, how you'd like them to feel, and how your communications can move people from awareness to deeper engagement.
Editorial + content planning
Build a functional cross-channel editorial calendar that connects your website, email, social media, campaigns, events, and important industry moments.
Communications systems + templates
Turn strategy into something your team can actually use, with repeatable internal frameworks, workflows, and templates.
A good fit for organizations thinking:
"We're doing a lot, but it doesn't feel connected." OR "We know something isn't working, but we're not sure what."
Effective communications rarely come from one brilliant post or email, as much as we hope it would. It's built by showing up, sharing useful things, telling good stories, and staying connected to your community over time. We act as a partner who can help keep things moving.
A good fit for organizations thinking:
"We have plenty to say, but no one has the time to make content." OR "Our communications is very hot and cold."
Social media management
Strategy, writing, design, scheduling, community engagement, and performance analysis across your priority platforms.
Email and newsletter program management
Content coordination, copyediting, design, production, list health, and reporting of your organization's email program.
Email regeneration and subscriber engagement
Refresh an email program that's wilted through audience segmentation, re-engagement campaigns, improved templates, automations, and clearer content strategy.
Content writing and storytelling
Blogs, feature stories, interviews, website content, thought leadership, case studies, and other long-form storytelling that helps you and your team share what you know.
(You'd like more consistency and results.)
So you've got a campaign, report, event, or new initiative that you'd like people to see and care about! We pride ourselves on bringing strategy, writing, and design under one roof, so your team isn’t coordinating three different contractors to launch one thing. We support your creative project with the what, when, and how.
A good fit for organizations thinking:
"We have something important coming up and need help making it land." OR "We really need this to look beautiful."
Campaign storytelling
Build the narrative and supporting content around a campaign, including website copy, email series, social media content, and visual assets.
Event marketing and visual identity
Develop the communications ecosystem surrounding an event — from registration campaigns and social promotion to attendee emails and on-site materials.
Reports + publications
Refresh an email program that's wilted through audience segmentation, re-engagement campaigns, improved templates, automations, and clearer content strategy.
Brand design and templates
Build a logo and brand identity with us, and/or reusable templates for social media, presentations, campaigns, reports, and other recurring communications.
(You're creating or launching something.)
The moment when your work is blossoming, the stories are there, and you want people beyond your network to know about you. We're your partner in expanding the reach of your ideas, expertise, and impact through thoughtful earned visibility and outreach.
A good fit for organizations thinking:
"We made something great and we want people to find it." OR "Our team has expertise that should be part of bigger conversations."
Media outreach and strategy
Develop pitches, identify relevant journalists and outlets, and support targeted outreach around organizational news, campaigns and expertise.
Podcast outreach
Research aligned podcasts, develop your pitch and messaging, conduct targeted outreach, and prepare your team to make the most of guest opportunities.
Thought leadership
Help organizational leaders and subject-matter experts translate what they know into compelling articles and public-facing content.
Grassroots research and outreach
Identify the organizations, influencers, agencies, partners, and people who can help move your work forward, then facilitate thoughtful outreach to build connections and open doors.
(You want more eyes on your good work.)
OR A LITTLE OF BOTH
Projects and retainers
Organizations rarely fit into one box. And after working with several clients who start with one type of project, and evolve into another, we're pretty passionate about creating bespoke offerings that make sense for what you're actually doing day-in and day-out.
Heartseed works in two primary ways:
For a defined short-term need, launch, strategy, campaign, publication, or creative deliverable.
We’ll establish a clear scope, timeline, and set of deliverables with you, and then get to work.
For organizations that need consistent communications capacity without adding another full-time person to the team.
Retainers can combine strategy, writing, design, email, social media, storytelling, and outreach based on what your organization actually needs.
Not sure which category you fall into?
That’s okay, we can figure it out together.
