Project Engagement
& Communications
Stakeholder Engagement and Communications
The Zeal Advisory Team offers support across all project phases, from bid development and stakeholder communication planning to implementation and project closeout.
Community Development Initiatives
We guide community development initiatives from start to finish, handling everything from project development and identifying funding opportunities to community engagement, implementation and evaluation.
Strategic and Community-led Projects
We are passionate in supporting community-driven change, focusing on community engagement for strategic planning and co-creating projects that address complex challenges.
Our Services
Each project we work on is unique and usually requires a bespoke approach, but generally our services would fall into these three packages.
Project Engagement Package
You are preparing a bid for a project and require assistance in crafting a professional proposal. Once the bid is successful, you will also need support in stakeholder engagement and communication throughout the entire project lifecycle.
Community Engagement Package
You have a project or strategic plan in mind and want to engage the community to inform them about it, as well as gather their feedback to help shape your ideas, plan or execution.
Community-led Project Package
You have identified a problem and want to involve the community in co-designing the solution, and in some cases, even co-implement it.
