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. 

​

Read on for ways to engage, or reach out directly if you're unsure where to begin.
