MAPPING A PLAN, BUILDING IT OUT

Dwell magazineWe helped launch Dwell, now a nationally recognized magazine of modern home design.

Do you have an idea for a new magazine, a newsletter, or a book? Do you need to build a website, dream up an app for smartphones and tablets, or create a periodic e-mail publication? As veteran launchers, we can help determine your distinctive niche, define content and presentation, set up processes and staffs, and even prepare budgets.

We Wanted to Be Writers websiteWe advised WW2BW on strategy, then built a website to market the book & form a writers’ community.

We’ve invented and launched clients’ projects in a wide range of subject areas, for different target audiences, and in a variety of print and digital forms. These include the award-winning magazines Dwell, Afar, Health, and University Business as well as websites and online products for We Wanted to Be Writers, AOL’s Thrive, Navigenics, Afar (corporate), and Essential Surgical Techniques.
