Our projects are across the world and range from regular phone calls with senior management to several months long, depending on the requirements. We would also point out that we are technology agnostic, meaning we don’t promote any one technology over another, but find the right combination that works.

Connecting with Welsh Digital Diaspora Communities
In 2020, we conducted a detailed analysis of Welsh digital diaspora, that is, Welsh communities in North America (primarily) and other countries. This was to help GlobalWelsh understand where there are active Welsh diaspora communities and how they engage online. We looked at cultural aspects and their views of Wales as well as business activities to help GlobalWelsh reconnect with their diaspora for tourism, economic development and investment opportunities. Our research findings have been on BBC Sounds and Business News Wales among others.

It’s no longer a matter of “if” but a matter of “when.” We helped a regional organisation to build their data resiliency. From conducting a threat surface analysis to board governance policies for data governance and a crisis communications plan. Not only are they ready, they were able to mitigate risks and reduce their insurance costs.

Digital Transformation for Specialty Magazine Publisher
A mid-size publisher of specialty publications in the United States new they needed to become more digital in terms of workflow. Digital transformations mean different things to each company and in their case, it was about digital tools for productivity. They were using cumbersome spreadsheets for layouts and ageing on-premise storage that was becoming costly to maintain. We transitioned them to GSuite along with cloud-based flat-plan software and developed a cloud based editorial calendaring system using GSuite. Productivity increased and they say a savings of 64% on prior year technology costs.

Ad revenues increased, social media and website traffic trebled in just a few months.

Monetizing Historical Data
We worked with a group of small regional newspapers that had been operating between 1920’s and 1990’s. Collectively, they held a lot of data in obituaries, traffic accidents and more. We analysed their historical content and helped them develop several different approaches to monetizing their data. This is called Infonomics. Our work helped them reach greater profitability and is still ongoing.
