The NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate (MPS) needed an integrated communications strategy to share research breakthroughs with diverse audiences. It faced the challenge of translating complex scientific concepts into accessible narratives while keeping content consistent and accurate across platforms. MPS also needed to streamline workflows and coordinate stakeholders to keep communications timely and efficient. Maintaining high-quality web and email communications required additional capacity and specialized editorial support. Ensemble supported MPS under a direct 8(a) sole source contract by providing copyediting, writing, web content management, and mass email communications. The team combined in-house staff with specialized scientific communications personnel using a flexible staffing model. It managed publication workflows with AP-style editing, stakeholder previews, and approval processes for announcements and events. The work also included a large-scale content migration, task tracking, and analytics-informed email campaign execution using tools such as GovDelivery. The engagement completed a major content audit and migration effort on schedule and within budget. More than 4,000 pieces of legacy content were reviewed and audited, and the web presence was modernized to improve accessibility and cohesion across directorate and division pages. The team wrote, edited, and fact-checked over 40 new web pages, producing and editing more than 7,000 words and curating many dozens of images. Overall content quality and operational efficiency improved through consistent editorial standards and streamlined workflows.
