Licensing — What It Solves
Definition
Licensing
License investigations, engines, archives, images, video, briefs, and syndication delivery under defined rights.
Choose this when
You need reuse rights and legal clarity (internal circulation, publication, translations, archives). You want “rights + update chain” so corrections propagate to every surface. You need a procurement-ready license structure instead of informal permissions.
How it is typically bought
Usually purchased as a single-outlet license or a network-wide agreement; mode can be annual/monthly/one-off depending on the item/service.
Best for
Media companies Platforms Governments Banks Enterprises Sports leagues Compliance teams
What you receive
Rights sheet + boundaries (scope, surfaces, attribution rules) Update/corrections propagation rules Optional network-wide master agreements Optional patented engines licensing (timeline/live/events/trackers)
Practical warning (to avoid wrong-fit)

Consulting — What It Solves
Definition
Consulting
Advisory for high-stakes decisions: message discipline, governance, crisis sequencing, proof rules, and executive readiness.
Choose this when
You need decisions and actions, not a catalogue of services. You need governance: who approves what, what to say, what to avoid, and why. You need a clean process that survives scrutiny (not improvisation).
How it is typically bought
By application; scoped after email. The page shows client-type-based modules and benefits per mode.
Best for
Leaders Boards PR agencies Governments Enterprises Political parties Sports bodies
What you receive
Decision briefs and review checkpoints Crisis sequencing, response lines, proof cues Stakeholder / pressure mapping (when relevant) Executive Q&A prep and “stop lines”

Sponsorships
Desk sponsorship is capacity funding with a firewall: it funds reporting operations without buying editorial control.
Choose this when

How it is typically bought
