With an entrepreneurial<br />
approach that values high-level<br />
performance, creativity and<br />
accountability, we develop and<br />
implement <strong>com</strong>pelling public<br />
relations campaigns that shape<br />
opinions and produce results.<br />
We work with major corporations<br />
to improve their market<br />
positions, increase their visibility,<br />
enhance their images and guide<br />
them through crises. We help<br />

and build their brands. We take<br />
issues that lack definition and<br />
project them to national prominence.<br />
We assist non-profit<br />
organizations in building important<br />
alliances and support. And<br />
our work in special situations —<br />
mergers and acquisitions, bankruptcies,<br />
litigations, government<br />
investigations — supports<br />
clients’ efforts to steer their<br />
organizations through highly<br />
<strong>com</strong>plex and contentious issues.<br />
Whether our mission involves<br />
media relations, crisis management,<br />
internal <strong>com</strong>munications,<br />
expertise in public affairs, <strong>com</strong>munications<br />
support for high profile<br />
transactions, editorial services,<br />
or assistance in developing<br />
and promoting special events, we<br />
understand our clients’ needs and<br />
provide an array of services to<br />
meet them.<br />
