Strategies and action plans
We help you develop your strategy and provide advice on the actions required to make it happen, including the people, processes, and tools you might need.
Engagement and workshop facilitation
We develop fit-for-purpose engagement strategies, design and facilitate workshops, conduct interviews, design surveys, and use a range of other relevant engagement methods to gather ideas, and test thinking. We form genuine relationships and engage with you and your partners to ensure people affected by change are at the centre of the process.
Submissions analysis
We analyse and synthesise submissions from the public and your stakeholders to inform policy and regulatory proposals. We identify insights and write internal and public facing reports that communicate clearly with your audience.
A3s and design work
We tell your story and communicate your message effectively using clever and useful design. We design infographics and diagrams to bring your data to life using clear and captivating design skills.
There's a phrase we use where I'm from: 'bang tidy', and that is how I would describe working with Frank. Great people and great work and it's really that simple.Empowering Communities Manager | Wellington City Council
The team were insightful, adaptable, approachable and always professional…They took the time to understand our context and expectations.Deputy Chief Executive | Teaching Council of Aotearoa | Matatū Aotearoa
I enjoyed all the interactions with FA staff, particularly the balance of intellectual confidence with open-minded listening…I enjoyed the relatively chill and understated vibe in conjunction with strong thinking.Principal Advisor | Te Tari Taiwhenua | Department of Internal Affairs
I particularly liked how efficient they were. Their turn around time to deliver products and incorporate feedback was very quick. They communicated very well with us. They were patient with us, and had a world of knowledge that they shared with us…They were also generous by allowing us to use the FrankAdvice office for our hui.Advisor | Ministry of Education | Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga
