Any organization should have a plan for disseminating information clearly and concisely during emergencies. This is crisis communications. Internal or external crises can take away from an organization’s core message and impede its ability to advance its mission. The key to managing such events is establishing a direct line of information to the public in order to maintain trust and consistency in times of heightened urgency.
We help our clients develop and implement a
crisis communications plan in order to:
- Rapidly respond to public inquiries regarding internal or external organizational emergencies
- Maintain steady communications with both the public and members of the media to provide critical updates
- Re-establish the organization’s core message outside of a given crisis

However, because of our unique focus, we can implement targeted outreach to a cadre of media contacts that cover education diversity and inclusion issues, resulting in the best promotion of our clients’ ideas and initiatives.

media relations, we help our clients:
- Assemble a story and effectively pitch members of the media
