 Do you get a quiet thrill from catching a misplaced comma? Does a poorly structured briefing keep you up at night? Do you believe that clear, compelling communication can actually change outcomes, even at the highest levels of government?
 <br/>
 <br/>
 If so, we might be your people.

 FWI is supporting the Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) Office of Corporate Communications (OCC), the team responsible for how one of the nation's most important intelligence agencies talks to Congress, the public, and its own workforce.
