SERVICES

Lead, Advocate, Protect & Compete

Our service areas are connected by one core idea: to help our clients navigate and prosper in the world of competing ideas and high stakeholder expectations.

Corporate Reputation Strategy

The corporate communications function demands strategic acumen, clear judgment, and an ability to manage complexity. We collaborate with business leaders and their communications teams to build strategies that create value. We define narratives — and bring them to life. We help our clients build internal consensus, drive to decisions, improve organizational effectiveness and deliver results.

  • Corporate narrative & positioning

  • Message & media training

  • Measurement & analytics

  • Organizational planning & capacity development

Brand Protection

Brand strength attracts attention. It draws higher activism and greater exposure to issues and expectations. We help clients manage this complexity by monitoring external trends, prioritizing areas of vulnerability and opportunity and shaping positions in the public debate. We help clients work through crises to emerge with their reputation intact.

  • Issue monitoring & prioritization

  • Crisis management & rapid response

  • Internal decision-making & strategy

  • Reputation measurement & analytics

Leadership Agendas

Leadership means developing a compelling point of view and compelling others to action. Every organization has an ideal position that connects strategy, distinct competencies and the greater needs of society. We help clients define their best leadership opportunities, develop persuasive arguments and drive change.

Advocacy & Public Affairs

The marketplace of ideas is crowded and contentious. We help clients compete and win on public policy priorities, contentious debates and societal causes.

Companies are expected to play a more substantive role in society's most important priorities. Where to engage —and how— are strategic decisions requiring careful consideration. We help clients build programs that align to the brand and business goals while amplifying public awareness of their positive impact.
