Your ideas matter to you… let’s make sure they matter to your audience.

ATD provides a variety of knowledge mobilization services to individuals and organizations including research labs/institutes, NGOs, and social enterprises who want their research, advocacy, products, and ideas to make an impact.

Services

  • ATD will guide you through the knowledge mobilization process from brainstorming and drafting to proofreading your final product. We’ll focus on identifying and connecting with your audience, developing your voice, choosing the right genre for the job, and exploring publication options.

  • Together we will identify your target audience and communication goals, and then ATD will write effective and engaging communications including social media, blog posts, research briefs, etc.

  • Whether your team is new to knowledge mobilization or more experienced, ATD provides a variety of in person and online workshops on knowledge mobilization. Ranging from one hour to one day, workshops cover theories of communication, challenges of sharing specialist knowledge to non-specialist audiences, and practice using proven strategies to create your own communications.

Our Mission

Through training, support, editing, and creation we take the challenges out of knowledge mobilization so that organizations and individuals can feel confident that their ideas are communicated effectively to their audiences.

Our Values

  • You matter to us. At ATD we value your ideas, goals, perspective, and personality. We’re excited about what excites you and we want to help make your communication visions a reality.

  • We use communication strategies that are informed by research, theory, and practice.

  • Our approach is informed by anti-oppressive editing practices, care and kindness. Whoever you are, whatever your story, we want your voice and perspective to shine through your communications.

  • We are human. We don’t mind if others use AI tools, but at ATD we don’t use Gen AI. Instead, we prioritize and appreciate the humanness of communication, which involves creativity, critical thinking, and curiosity.
