COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTING SERVICES
Get the end result you actually need.
Since beginning my career in the mid-2000's, I've heard some version of the phrase,
"we want to generate media coverage," from hundreds of organizations in dozens of industries.
It's a common request, and an understandable one for businesses and nonprofits looking to drive awareness.
​
But competition is fierce, and a PR partnership can only succeed with a deep understanding of the "why" behind this common request.
​
Together, we can look at the end result you're dreaming of, and chart a course to get there using the tools at our disposal, from traditional media coverage to social media campaigns and content marketing, speaking engagements, events, community partnerships and so many more.
