CONSULTING SERVICES
Corporate Communications
In an era when companies can distribute public statements across the entire globe at the click of a button, coordinating corporate communication strategy is more necessary than ever. Madson Publishing can optimize your organization’s top-level messaging by working with stakeholders to compose well written, professionally-edited press releases. Don’t let your brand get tarnished by poorly worded messaging or sloppy mistakes. Successful organizations demand effective communication skills from the top down, so let Madson Publishing lend professional guidance.
Marketing & Promotional Media
Anyone who thinks it’s easy to write text for marketing or promotional materials probably hasn't tried doing it themselves! Saying everything you need to say within the strict confines of word-count limits will challenge even the best of writers, so let Madson Publishing offer expert assistance. We can write original copy for your organization's marketing and promotional materials, like company brochures or catalogs. Madson Publishing can also lend a critical eye to existing material by serving as a copyediting resource, correcting errors and enforcing consistent style guide. We can also edit for context, offering rewriting suggestions and identifying problematic phrases for follow-up. Let us find and patch up the holes in your story before your audience does.
Website Content & SEO
Writing SEO-driven content for websites requires authors to write for two different audiences: human readers and soul-less search engine algorithms. Writing for a robot without sounding like a robot... it’s easier said than done! That’s why you should hire a professional, like Madson Publishing, which can draw upon a decade of experience adapting to the latest SEO strategies to compose relevant, keyword-rich content for your website. Whether it’s cranking out original text for e-commerce product descriptions, composing specific keyword-focused landing pages or helping formulate a workable SEO strategy for your website, Madson Publishing delivers results.
Social Media Strategy
Organic traffic generated by social media is one of the most cost effective ways to reach your audience. And if you aren’t putting in the work to capitalize on social media, your competition will! Modern companies can’t afford to ignore social media, however, an ill-conceived or poorly executed social media strategy can be even more damaging. Madson Publishing will work with your organization to improve audience engagement with high-value, strategically timed social media posts.
Grant Writing & Research Projects

Grants represent the lifeblood for many non-profit organizations, serving as the primary funding resource for critical programs and positions. Hire Madson Publications to support your next grant proposal or research project as a writer, editor or copy editor. Our analytic skills and third-party insight can deliver valuable input on your next project.
