Technical writing & editing.

It all starts here.

We work across the full scope of publications and documents for government and corporate clients, ensuring that the message is always clear, consistent and accessible, however technical the topic.

We can help you with any (or all) of the following:

• Document structuring and strategic direction

• Briefing of writing teams on content scope and structure

• Creation of writing and style guides

• Collaboration with content owners and subject matter experts to develop clear, relevant, meaningful content

• Rigorous editorial reviews for style, consistency of voice, clarity of expression and plain English

• Collaboration with graphic designers to support the production of consistent, high quality visual elements

• Collaboration with senior leadership teams to produce summaries and Board papers.

Tenders.

Big Picture loves bidding.

We scale our services according to the needs of each project, and we’re equally at home providing surge capacity for an in-house proposals team, or mobilising an entire bid machine to get the job done. At every level, our energy, unflappability and focus are renowned and unwavering.

Here’s what we can do for you:

• Set up your bid plan with milestone dates for workshops, drafts and reviews

• Define and articulate strategy, win themes and key messages

• Conduct a kick off session with the whole team

• Style and produce branded templates

• Work with content owners to structure and develop each schedule response

• Promote the strategy and messages, and provide support/coaching where needed to make sure everyone understands what they need to achieve

• Review drafts for clarity, style, messaging and consistency – we are great at pushing and challenging to elevate responses from conforming to compelling

• Brief technical and peer reviewers, and conduct formal review sessions

• Champion the bid process and hold people to account – deadlines are met, quality is maintained, progress is celebrated and everyone brings their A-game.

Build your toolkit.

Be more efficient (and better looking).

CVs and case studies are perennially neglected, until they really matter (that’s right, it’s not just you). Our experience working with companies of every size gives us a broad and detailed insight into what matters most in a document suite. We’ve distilled this knowledge into the ‘BigPic Starter Kit’.

Here’s what it can help you do:

Get the basics right. Consistent, fit for purpose corporate documents are vital for selling your strengths. We can work with you to develop a suite of templates, from the absolute basics (letterhead and business cards) through to CVs, case studies, capability statements and reports. And of course, we can help you write your content to ensure you show your team at its best.

Build a system. Having a good system in place saves more time than you could imagine. We can work with you to:

• create a library of standard content that can be used for most tenders (and a system for keeping it current and relevant)

• set up a tender process and review tools

• prepare and deliver workshops that engage, inform and equip your people to communicate and bid well.

Prepare your pitch. A great document suite and system not only makes it simpler to promote your expertise to the market, it also allows you to focus on the high value elements of a tender when it drops. (We can help you with this, too – that’s the column to the left.)
