Services
We specialize in geopolitical research and analyis and editorial services because we know both. Founder Paul Maidment brings a background of 10 years of geopolitcal risk analysis including five as Director of Analysis at industry-leading Oxford Analytica and 20 years of award-winning journalism and senior newsroom management as editor of two ground-breaking web sites, the Financial Times‘ FT.com and Forbes.com.
That expertise and practical experience is augmented by having worked and lived on three continents, adding up to a unique combination of understanding the world and an ability to explain it clearly and concisely, regardless of its increasing complexity.
Bystander Media has developed a boutique business as a white-label supplier of risk anaylsis and editorial services as we believe that is the optimal way to provide a high-quality service tailored to individual client’s needs free of ‘byline bias’, whether this is in producing a one-off series of thought leadership pieces, providing timely analysis of significant geopolitcal developments, or monitoring social, political or regulatory trends.
We also believe that the smartest research and analysis is of little value if it cannot be clearly and consicely explained to others. Our editorial services aim to ensure that clients can communicate their insights to their stakeholders in the language of their stakeholders, whether that be across the boardtable, up to the C-suite, down to the ranks or outside the orgnisation.
