Do something different for your cause
If you work in the development sector you’re probably wondering what TIE can do for you. Fundamentally, it’s all about helping your voice be heard. With better communications, people can learn more about your organisation and the work that you do. This can only be a good thing.
We start by working with you to figure out how to increase your social impact through communications. And how you can best benefit from the expertise of a communications professional from a large company in a developed country.
Then we put our heads together to come up with a suitable placement, which clearly identifies what the CPs will be doing when placed with your organisation. At the moment, the placements last for a month but this may vary depending on the project.
There are so many ways your organisation could benefit from a TIE placement. In fact we’ve written a really long list. And if you’re not a list person, take a look at our case studies page to see some examples of what we’ve done.
