                                                   Ready for Proposal Season?

Preparing for “March Madness”

March is a busy month.  End of the fiscal year spend down, last-minute deliverables, and highly anticipated proposals all contribute to some quick turnaround work. Let’s work together to plan ahead.  Take advantage of the self-service resources now available on AGI to tackle “March Madness.”

New CS Pages on AGI

To educate staff and align our service offerings with the needs of Abt’s Divisions, we have tailored our CS Service Center pages on AGI to answer the following questions:

·         What does Creative Services do?

·         How long do things take?

·         How much will that cost?

·         Where can I find…well…everything?

We welcome you to visit AGI to learn more about our capabilities, our process, and the CS team.  Tell us what you think so we can make continuous improvements to helpful resources.  Creative Services is working to fulfill its mission to be an innovative, resourceful team, committed to helping the company and clients achieve their missions.

Proposal Keys to Success

In addition to various tools and templates available on the BDU Service Center page, CS is offering Abt’s Keys to Success, co-developed with GBDU, to help you think creatively about your proposal—the graphics, the writing, and the packaging of your submission.

From proposal covers to conceptual models to stylized organization charts, the CS team can help you replace prose with eye-catching and compelling visuals that illustrate your ideas.  Email us today to get started with a discussion about graphics in your next proposal!
