Online and digital
As Australia continues to respond to the lessons of COVID-19, we’re acutely aware of your need to reach community members and stakeholders in new ways.
Because in times of crisis, people need and expect more communication and more engagement. Our ability to keep in contact with people can be critical to their welfare, and for sharing crucial information.
We know how to digitally engage with stakeholders and communities
Articulous has been digitally engaging with clients and stakeholders for many years. In fact, we wrote the industry-standard digital engagement training program in the early 2010s. In 2021 we ran live digital forums across regional Queensland on recycling, across NSW on flying foxes, and across Australia for the National Digital Health forum.
We’ve developed online games, crisis management portals, an online film competition, and campaigns that have actively engaged 10% of a city population.
Leading global standards
We have also been involved in developing global standards for civic innovation using technology by governments.
Together, we can help you continue to connect with communities in a way that’s safe and which attracts the right attention.

Industry-leading techniques
Articulous has always been at the forefront of digital innovation. Even before COVID-19, we had years of experience running live digital engagement activities nationally – so our techniques are tried and tested.
Virtual information sessions and workshops
No matter the topic and format, we have you covered. Our team are experts at facilitating the flow of conversation in digital workshops, play zones and scenario planning in Zoom and Teams. Information sessions can be topic- or location-based so people can choose what they are most interested in hearing more about.
Live polling
Live polling is anonymous, making it a powerful tool for encouraging more open and honest discussions in both face-to-face facilitation and virtual meeting spaces. It allows participants to hear a range of perspectives from different community members – including those who may not normally share their views and opinions in front of a group.
We’ve used this successfully with many controversial projects.
Virtual and augmented reality
We can help you develop virtual and augmented reality activities that ask people to explore and learn about a space in 3D, and we can get them to answer surveys or plot their ideas within the space.
Online open house
An online open house simulates the face-to-face experience we create at an open house or during an interactive community display. It creates an informational and relationship journey for participants to gradually share information in a well-sequenced way – stepping participants through project information and creating well-informed submissions from the community.
Social media to meet your engagement objectives
We can combine our expertise in engagement and social media marketing to help you better connect with your community and stakeholders. Our team can:

Establish your online presence
Who is visiting your website? What is their journey? What are they interacting with? How can you increase the value of their interaction and create more meaningful engagement?
These questions are critical to any business that wants to have an impact online, and we can help you find the answers.
Our team of digital experts deliver more than numbers and a report. They will transform data into a story about your website and user experience, then provide clear recommendations for strengthening your online presence, engaging your audiences, and accessing new networks of people.
If you’re looking for help on the content side, we have you covered there as well. Some of the services our team can provide include:
- ^Audit your website content and search engine optimisation (SEO) performance, with recommendations to improve your online presence and Google search rankings.
