STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS
We work with clients spanning the political, corporate, labour, environmental, medical, tech, arts, academic and non-profit sectors to develop and execute strategic plans that serve as the foundation for internal and external communications. Whether you need an overarching, organization-wide strategy or a focused plan for a specific project, we help you tell a compelling story.
24/7 CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS PLANNING & SUPPORT
In today’s world, reputations are critical for success. Stop losing sleep over what could happen. We assist clients who want to be thoroughly prepared for a potential crisis with detailed plans, identification of reputational threats, and crisis simulation training. We also offer 24/7 immediate help navigating an existing crisis, including minimizing damage, communicating with media and stakeholders, and repairing trust post-crisis.
MEDIA & SPOKESPERSON TRAINING
Whether you’re a politician who’s tackled hundreds of media interviews, a leader who’s never spoken to a reporter, or somewhere in between, we help you speak effectively to mainstream and alternative media. Our customizable media training sessions take place in-person or online and include rigorous practice with a minimum of two facilitators so you’ll come away feeling comfortable and in control when being interviewed, no matter the outlet or situation.
WRITING & EDITING
We know how to craft content that connects, from nationally published opinion pieces to memorable speeches, punchy campaign text and everything in between. Our team loves writing, so whether you’re in need of blog posts, opinion pieces or speaking notes, get in touch.
MEDIA RELATIONS & OUTREACH
Good media coverage doesn’t happen by accident; it takes a strategic and intentional approach coupled with practice and expertise. We help clients effectively tell their stories in mainstream media and ultimately reach larger audiences and key decision-makers. Our team has worked in daily news journalism and understands first-hand the intense demands and exploding inboxes facing reporters today and, in turn, how to stand out and get your message across.
