Our areas of expertise include:

•	Media Relations:  What appears in the media is either helping or hurting your business or cause.  It is never neutral.  Having solid relationships with reporters and editors, and understanding how reporters and the media operate, is crucial to managing your media coverage.
•	Government Relations:  Business leaders routinely try to apply a business template to their dealings with political bodies and local communities.  That is a recipe for disaster.  Government bodies and local communities operate under their own unique systems, and playing well within that system is the path to success.
•	Crisis Communications: Proactive companies with a competent public relations consultant develop a Crisis Communications Plan, allowing them to navigate through difficult situations when they arise.
•	Web Sites: The mantra “location, location, location” is now “connection, connection, connection.”  Businesses with polished and professional websites that connect with customers and potential customers are part of that $150 billion Internet industry many of us are enjoying.  Good website design leads to good web marketing which leads to sales. Be polished, be relevant -- and connect.
•	Web Site SEO: Write, design and maintain web sites that consistently rank on page one of major search engines through natural search engine results.
•	News Releases: Generate publicity by identifying newsworthy stories and writing news releases.
•	Create and conduct branding campaigns through ads and attention-getting PR initiatives.
•	Plan, coordinate and execute issue-related campaigns & special events.
•	Create highly-effective, easy-to-use Press Kits.
•	Assess strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
•	Write strategic communications plans.
•	Provide council during a crisis, handle the media, craft statements and press releases, and maintain contact with key audiences.
•	Write video scripts and coordinate shooting and production.
•	Provide full-range of political consulting services.
•	Research and create key campaign themes and messages.
•	Write and produce political Web sites, ads and direct mailers.
