FAQ

We’ve gathered here the answers to the most common questions about our services and the way we work. This FAQ is designed to give you a first glimpse of our approach. And if you don’t find what you’re looking for, feel free to reach out directly — we’d be happy to talk with you!

We are a communication studio. We help organizations clarify what they stand for and express it with coherence, care and intention. Our work sits at the intersection of meaning, narrative and form. We accompany foundations, associations, NGOs and organizations who think long term and want their communication to reflect their values – not just their activities.

We work primarily with foundations, associations, NGOs and organizations that aspire to be truly sustainable — socially, culturally, environmentally and humanly. Our clients often share a similar way of thinking: long-term vision, attention to meaning, and a desire for coherence.

They often operate in complex environments, carry strong missions, and seek communication that supports relationships, trust and continuity rather than visibility alone.

No predefined packages are listed on our website. Our collaborations are shaped by context, duration and intention. Some are focused and short-term; others unfold over several years. We believe clarity comes from dialogue, not from choosing items from a menu.

  • We often work on projects such as:
  • narrative and positioning clarification
  • editorial and strategic writing
  • communication during moments of transition or growth
  • long-term communication accompaniment
  • legacy, transmission and commemorative work

That said, we don’t define our work by formats. We define it by intention and impact.

Yes – when form is part of what serves meaning. We translate clarified narratives into written, visual and editorial forms, working closely with a trusted network of designers, developers and partners when needed. Form is never an afterthought; it is part of how communication becomes understandable and durable.

It depends on the context. Some collaborations last a few weeks, others several months or longer. What matters is not duration, but coherence: creating work that can live beyond the collaboration itself. We adapt our rhythm to what is realistic and meaningful for each organization.

We work within clearly defined frameworks, adapted to each collaboration. Rather than adding layers of complexity, we focus on what is essential and sustainable. Our goal is to create clarity that reduces friction and supports long-term use — financially as well as humanly.

You will work closely with Patricia Schwarz and, depending on the project, with members of the Schwarz&Co studio and trusted collaborators. We work across generations and disciplines, bringing together experience, clarity and perspective. Each collaboration is intentionally composed.

Yes. We work in French and English, and adapt tone and narrative carefully to each linguistic and cultural context.

You’re likely a good fit if:

  • you value clarity over noise
  • you are open to reflection and dialogue
  • you think long term, even in complex contexts
  • you see communication as part of your responsibility to the world

If that resonates, a conversation is usually the best place to start.

Most collaborations begin with a conversation. You can reach out via our contact page or simply write to us. We’ll be happy to hear about your thoughts and questions.
