Content Partnerships and Speaking Engagements
We work with organizations to shape and amplify high-impact content at the intersection of sustainability, finance, risk, and global change. Drawing on deep subject-matter expertise and a global platform, we help partners communicate complex ideas clearly, credibly, and to the right audiences.
We support partners through speaking engagements, joint research reports, and promotion through our network in ways that inform decision-makers and extend reach.

Joint Research Reports
We collaborate with numerous partners to produce rigorous, credible, and decision-relevant analysis. Joint research reports combine deep technical analysis with clear storytelling and practical implications, resulting in co-branded outputs that partners can use for engagement, positioning, and impact.
Our team supports the full research process, from scoping and analysis through drafting, review, and dissemination, ensuring outputs meet high analytical standards while remaining accessible to key audiences.
Report topics have included: Transition planning; physical climate risks; sustainable finance frameworks; insurance and financial system resilience; and regulatory developments.

Social Media Promotion and Amplification
We enable partners to boost the reach of their content, events, and products through targeted promotion to highly engaged sustainability and finance audiences. This includes amplification through David Carlin’s LinkedIn network of nearly 200,000 followers and our weekly newsletter read by thousands of practitioners and decision-makers.
Promotion is selective and strategic, focused on ensuring the right message reaches the right audience. We work closely with partners to align content, timing, and framing with their objectives.
Promotion channels include: LinkedIn posts, comments, and reshares; newsletter features; podcast promotion; report launches; and other targeted content amplification.
