Strategic content to influence, educate, and change outcomes.

  • Substack for Clentech Adoption

    Insights

    Substack newsletter “Jim Walker | Cleantech Adoption” for clean energy research, analysis, and opinion delivered to your inbox.

    The Substack advocates for clean technology companies and counters misinformation from the fossil fuel industry. The newsletter is supported by verifiable and linked facts from reputable news, research, and academic sources.

    Insights include Op-Eds, policy critiques, market analyses, and technology evaluations.

  • Executive Briefs

    Executive Briefs

    Custom content for PR campaigns.

    The Executive Brief newsletters aim to help customers understand how your technology can solve critical business problems. They provide guidance, insight, and knowledge to implement successful clean energy goals.

    Briefs, often written as Op-Eds under 1000 words, present a clear argument, problem definition, solution, and verifiable evidence supporting the argument and “call-to-action”.

  • Advisory Services

    Advisory Services

    Industry trends, research, and analysis delivered to your employees via webinars.

    Rapid changes in energy markets, government policies, and technology development overwhelm employees with too much information to readily synthesize and use.

    Corporate staff developing their next year’s plans and strategies need to step outside their daily tasks to understand the big picture and its impact on their business.
