STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTING
One day, some villagers noticed a baby floating down the river. Good people got together and saved the baby. The next day there were two babies, and each day after that brought more drowning babies. More and more villagers got involved, and saving drowning babies soon took everyone’s time and energy. Soon they decided to see where the babies were coming from. Travelling upstream, the villagers found a bridge was broken, causing the babies to fall into the river. Fixing the bridge prevented the problem.
Addressing the Sources and the Symptoms
Many organizations and programs provide this kind of preventative benefit every day. Their services, when successful, pay for themselves many times over. Failure to provide them results in negative human and financial costs.
Upstream Solutions helps identify and highlight what is preventative and unique about our partner programs. We creatively address issues at their sources, and create compelling ways to show the human and financial ROI of our work.
Services include communications, marketing, innovative financing, event planning, grant writing, and connecting interested stakeholders.
