About Us
Join the revolution!
We are witnessing a knowledge revolution with AI.
But we are also experiencing a communications revolution that is exploding before our eyes alongside the knowledge revolution.
Knowledge production and even more powerful communications strategy are as inseparable as pasta and sauce.
You can’t have one without the other.
However, if you really want to get ahead with your business – or truly succeed in life – don’t assume machines will do it for you.
Owning a pricey fishing rod does not make you an expert fly fisherman. You yourself need to know what you’re doing. And that’s where Global Arts Associates comes in.
Whether you are looking to write a book, start or develop a business, launch a podcast, or find out and get the word out about whatever your project is, you need training and coaching from people who know precisely what they’re doing.
Otherwise, you will waste a lot of money and suffer far too much discouragement and heartache.
Success does not just happen. It is a slow, step-by-step labor of love in which passion, commitment, a willingness to learn and stand corrected when you mess up, and sheer perseverance are critical to an optimal outcome.
We help you reach your desired goals by showing you how to do it, not by doing it for you.
That doesn’t mean we won’t do some of the writing for you, or edit the copy you provide, or perhaps even create and maintain a website for you.
But all the evidence shows that people succeed when they have good mentors, not merely paid gofers.
That’s what we do for you!
Here are just a few of the many specific things we can do for you…
We have multiple resources we can pull together to assist you in your custom project. Here are just a few of them. Remember, we don’t do the work for you. We connect you with the right people to coach, mentor, and guide you. We can help you…
…develop a business plan
Business plans are not just hopes and dreams embellished with some numbers that you put down on paper. They require creative thinking, real research, and of course persuasive writing. Have an idea for a business? We’ll help you get everything together, and do it right.
…write and publish a book
We have published writers, writing instructors, and editors we can call upon to aid you in mapping out the book you’ve always wanted to write and bringing it to a stage where it is publishable. We do not serve as, or refer you to, agents for commercial publishers, but we can get you to the point where such agents might at least take an interest in you. Of course, we can help you self-publish, which is what more and more writers do these days anyway.
…conduct an online seminar
Ubiquitous online video conferencing software like Zoom and Google Meet have transformed both education and conferencing. If you have a viable idea for online seminar, or series of seminars, we can provide expertise in setting it up, promoting it, and monetizing it eventually. Or if you’re a non-profit venture, we can advise you as well. Content as well as context is everything. If we don’t think you’re idea is viable, we’ll let you know that early on, and you won’t owe us anything.
Need translation?
In today’s global economy often you need to get the word out in a language other than English.
Whether it’s a book, an academic journal article, an op-ed piece, a technical or research report, a promo pitch, or just a letter of intent you may at times have to translate it into a foreign language.
Machine translation software is better than ever. Yet effective communication in a foreign language demands an understanding of nuance, context, and cultural sensitivity that is beyond the capabilities of bots, even those with the latest AI enhancements.
Gone are the days when dual language specialists manually translated documents word by word. Computers can save time, and time is money.
But we’ll make sure your books, blogs, or documents have the kind of pizzazz they need to be credible to a foreign language reader.
At present we only offer European language translation, specifically Spanish, German, French, Italian, and Dutch.
Tell us what you need and we’ll get make your wording sound right in one of those idioms.
We design and manage your websites too…
Need a business website along with someone to maintain it?
If you want something more than an online business card, you will need experienced website design and maintenance.
We don’t do all the high-end stuff like e-commerce, but we can make a functional, attractive website for you that meets your small business needs and makes a statement on the web that catches people’s attention.
And our rates are generally lower than other web masaters.
This website itself is an example of what we do. If you like it…
Arts promotion and education
So many artists and community arts promoters think all you have to do is put up a display in a gallery, or line the street with booths for art vendors, and they will come.
They may come – mainly to get out of the house for the afternoon, or people watch.
But do they really understand what is the art they’re looking at?
Or more critically – will they buy?
You wouldn’t buy a car, or even a small appliance, without understanding what it’s for, or how it works, would you?
Well, why would anybody buy a significantly priced piece of art without the artist’s account of why they created it?
We help individual artists and art communities place – and ultimately – sell their art. There’s a word for that. It’s “creative placemaking”.
Creative placemaking involves more than positioning art in the right location. You can open a great restaurant in the right spot, but if customers aren’t familiar with what’s on the menu, or don’t like the environment, they won’t come back.
So educating your art customer or arts supporter is absolutely crucial.
We have experience doing that.
A few of our team members, for instance, were instrumental in helping the National Consortium for Creative Placemakers, the National Endowment for the Arts, and ArtPlace America put on the highly successful Rocky Mountain/Southwest Creative Placemaking Leadership Summit at the University of Denver in April 2017.
We work with artists, artist communities, and local governments to make your arts “placement” strategy effective and sustainable.
We can make your venture come
alive through strategic storytelling…
Whether you’re writing a book, starting a business, or developing a place for “creatives”, we assist you in crafting compelling narratives that resonate with your target audience, or business customers. We either assist you directly or direct you to seasoned experts who stand out for their ability to facilitate cutting-edge messaging with a touch of artistic flair. We look to make your project visible and attractive to its clients in today’s competitive landscape. As our motto says, “we get you out front…and put you in the spotlight.”
Or maybe even something else…
Want to know what’s really going on behind the scenes?
Some times you need to understand the more shadowy actors or factors that are affecting your life or your business. Or perhaps you want for whatever reason to get “behind the lines” to mine information that can’t be retrieved from regular professional or news services. You need what is know as “Open Source Intelligence”, or OSINT, as it’s called. OSINT is crucial nowadays to many kinds of business.
Depending on what you are looking for, we may be able to assist you through our affiliate Global Intel. There are naturally large OSINT providers out there who cost a lot of money and cater mainly to even larger corporate, or government clients. But we work for the the little guy, especially you.
Global Intel does not do private investigative work, but if you need that service we can bundle it in for your from an independent contractor.
