Having worked on the forefront of creating social change through community outreach and engagement – we know social change is hard. We don’t believe in emphasizing the latest buzzwords, providing quick answers or taking short cuts, because they don’t foster social change. Instead, we provide individualized solutions based on the needs of the client and their constituency. By adapting successful private-sector strategy, customer insights and marketing expertise, Giddings Consulting Group, LLC delivers significant value within the social sector.
