About Us
Helping you grow assets, regain time, and get reliable proposal and content support.
Journ Agency is a full-scale proposal services and content creation firm, dedicated to asset management.
Why Journ?
While we operate as an external partner, we do so with a long-term relational mindset. In all cases, we value quality over quantity—and this applies not just to our work, but to our people. We are highly selective about the writing professionals we pair with our asset management partners, and will ensure that their background and expertise is a close match for your needs.
Who We Are
We are a small, dedicated team with niche experience in asset management.
We are a firm that operates on a contract basis.
We are a firm that maintains a long-term, relationship mindset.
Who We Are Not
We are not a proposal mill.
We are not a recruiting or matching agency.
We are not looking to expand into multiple arenas.

Our Values
- Strive for Perfection. Typos make us cringe—and possibly the proposal recipients too. We work hard to avoid making mistakes, both big and small.
- Act with integrity. While we strive for perfection, we are human beings. We will always own up to our mistakes, and continue to perfect our model.
- Lead with Humility. We know that our work is only possible because of our clients—and our success is your success.
- Maintain our Cool. Operating under tight deadlines and strict requirements can get tense at times. We pledge to always be professional and maintain grace under fire.
- Be 100% Reliable. You can always count on us to get the job done well, within the requirements, in advance of the deadline.
