We know this space,
and we know it well.
TTG+PARTNERS is the nation’s only communications consultancy with the unique focus on promoting diversity and inclusion. We are passionate in our stance—true activists at heart—that equal opportunities should be afforded to all people in an equitable manner as a principle of justice.
We understand that equity must be addressed in order to ensure that all communities of color thrive in a globally competitive environment. And because of our unique focus, our team includes experts who have content knowledge and understand the complexities of working within such a sensitive environment. Put simply: This is our space and we know it well.
We listen, and we take
the right action.
TTG+PARTNERS is unique—rejecting the notion of “spin” and “canned” PR tactics—to maximize the potential of each client. Collectively, our highly experienced communications team has unparalleled knowledge about racial disparities and social justice issues. Collectively, we have a rich history of advancing the ideas of industry leaders to help them take center stage on matters most important to them.
Whether the goal is to increase higher education graduation rates among low-income, first-generation, and ethnic/racial minority students, end the schoolhouse to jailhouse pipeline for African-American males, or stop the dismantling of bilingual education programs available for Latino high school students, we take the right action to achieve the desired outcome for clients.
