Target Analysis
Communications and training is only effective if the target audience is reached. CSS communications specialists carefully analyze education, accessibility, and demographics to determine the most effective and cost efficient way to ensure that information is understood and absorbed by the intended audience.
Content Development
Developing content for communications and educational programs is a collaborative effort between our communications team and our subject matter experts. Working together, they create user-friendly content for each target audience that is designed to communicate the defined message.
Graphic Arts and Materials Development
Images can be an effective method of conveying information to scientific peers, legislators, students, or the lay community. CSS graphic artists work closely with staff scientists to create clear and concise technical illustrations and communications materials that accurately and effectively capture the often complex concepts inherent in scientific fields.
Event Management
CSS specializes in events that support the exchange of scientific information. We provide logistical and operational support for meetings that result in streamlined, professional, and cost-effective forums, and are sensitive to the needs of the scientific community for access, security, and accurate documentation of requirements and outcomes.
Public Speaking, Representation, and Testimony
CSS will deliver your message through careful crafting of scripts, must airs, and talking points delivered through Congressional or other testimony, press releases, media tours, trade shows and exhibits, and other forums.
