Public Relations

We are expert storytellers; skilled in persuasion and convincing an audience inside and outside your sphere of influence, to promote your idea, purchase your product, support your position, or recognize your accomplishments. We will help you create narratives to advance your agendas; and protect, enhance or build reputations through the media, social media, or self-produced communications. We will work with you to analyze your organization, find the positive messages, and translate those messages into positive stories. When the news is negative, we will formulate the best response and mitigate the damage.

“Public relations is a strategic communication process that builds mutually beneficial relationships between organizations and their publics.” – Public Relations Society of America PRSA

We often get asked, “How is public relations different than advertising?” Simple. It’s unpaid vs. paid; earned vs. purchased, credible vs. skeptical. As the saying goes, “Advertising is what you pay for, publicity is what you pray for.”

Public Relations convinces reporters or editors to write a positive story about you, your company, your brand or your issue. It is editorial rather than paid advertising; so your story has more credibility because it was independently verified by a trusted third party.

“A public relations specialist is an image shaper. Their job is to generate positive publicity for their client and enhance their reputation … They keep the public informed about the activity of government agencies, explain policy, and manage political campaigns. Public relations people working for a company may handle consumer relations, or the relationship between parts of the company such as the managers and employees, or different branch offices.” – Princeton Review
