→ What We Do
Bespoke Information connects you with your own cultural attaché, an information expert who constructs a custom information stream for your day-to-day life, and is on-call for all your information needs—like a personal trainer or personal assistant, only with a specialization in information.
→ For Example
The New Yorker writes about producer Brian Grazier's cultural attaché.
Follow the Media describes the future-forward trend of personal journalists.
→ When Information Wants to Be Expensive
There's nothing more valuable than the right information at the right time.
One of the information age's most quoted half-truths is futurist Stewart Brand saying "information wants to be free." A second earlier he'd stated that "information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life."
Bespoke Information specializes in this high-value information, and can, because we process the entire informational universe, custom tailoring it for each client.
→ Why We're Necessary
These days, no individual has the time nor tools to reach efficiently beyond their usual media routines, unless they use us to edit the limitless amount of information into a concise, manageable, and value-driven news stream.
Furthermore, there's often information that's simply not available. In these situations, we'll employ journalists or researchers to create it.
→ How We Do It
Every day our team, including a global network of experts, reads thousands of newspapers, magazines, blogs, academic papers, journals, and books with our client's needs in mind. We attend conferences, lectures, and host dinner parties of the most interesting people in our client's areas of interest.
We sift through it all to provide you summaries of the best sources and the most relevant information. If the information you want isn't available, we'll hire a journalist to create it for you.
Furthermore, we maintain a large database of contacts to ask questions of, and can frequently introduce you to just the right person to speak with. We put technology (sometimes custom) in the hands of our domain experts to exploit the best of both worlds.
We always provide appropriate compensation to the original source, and our parent company, Of Record, Inc., is focused on finding a new business model for high-quality content production in the digital age.
