The World Health Organization’s Department of Country Cooperation and Collaboration with the United Nations System (CCU), worked with Dawson Ferguson Communications during the autumn of 2013. Dawson Ferguson Communications prepared a global online consultation for WHO, to gather information from all Heads of WHO offices in countries, territories and areas. They created a comprehensive questionnaire, launched the online version and did the analytics, following up with a report and PowerPoint presentation that was used for future work of WHO. CCU was satisfied with the collaborative work undertaken by Dawson Ferguson, especially the flexibility and professionalism of the team. They delivered a well-designed, complex online tool within a tight deadline and provided excellent troubleshooting support for WHO country offices.

Working with Dawson Ferguson, the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists was able to access a unique mix of knowledge and experience in strategic government communications. They created a monthly report on new legislation, or changes in existing legislation, from across Canada that might affect our association. They also helped us craft communication strategies and tailor some government briefing documents. Their understanding and insight helped the CAMRT deliver effective communications that were both timely and strategically in tune with our audience.
