background

MakeShiftPublishing

Since 2013 MakeShiftPublishing has helped mission-driven organisations find the words, images and evidence that move people to act. Formalised as an independent company in 2020, we now work with partners as varied as UN agencies, EU directorates, frontline NGOs, local CSOs, social-impact start-ups and museums—because human-centric communication thrives on cross-pollination.

Our network of senior strategists, writers and designers covers the full arc of communication:

- Evidence-gathering (qualitative & quantitative research, audience insight)

- Strategic framing (message architecture, narrative design)

- Content creation (long-form stories, motion graphics, short-form video, accessible layouts)

- Capacity building and evaluation that let clients fly solo after hand-over.

One simple rule guides every project: people first. Plain language beats buzz-speak, authentic voices outrank stock clichés, and measurable impact is built in from day one.
