Strategic Communications
Clients count on us to help them craft the right strategies and messages to communicate their story in ways that resonate with key audiences. These may include the public, government officials, the media, community groups and leaders who influence the opinions of others. We have a proven set of communication tools and the creative savvy to make things happen.

Editorial Support: Media plans are designed to get the most benefit from clients' positive stories about their business, project or issue and to limit the negative impacts of bad news or controversy. They often include guidance on assembling and writing of media briefing kits, training of key spokespeople and assistance in coordinating interviews and editorial board briefings.
 
Litigation Support: When a company comes under legal fire, the stakes for communicating effectively rise to a new level. In many instances, investigations and litigation focus on high-level executives as well as their company. With all that at risk, legal counsel must often focus on issues of law, not on communicating with the media and key stakeholders. It is critical to understand the need for both legal and communication strategies, and how to make the two work together.
 
Labor Communications: Sound communications strategy, planning and messages are key to proper positioning leading up to and during negotiations. They become even more crucial when declaring impasse and implementing terms of the contract offer, during a strike or lockout and for eventual settlement. The plan should be developed with key elements of the organization's needs clearly in mind. Clearly defined objectives - the bargaining outcomes the organization must have - are critical not only to the success of the general labor strategy, but to the success of the communications strategy as well.
