  • Earn headlines, generate buzz, forge new brand partnerships, expand your audience, and make sure your voice is heard by the right people. My approach to PR starts by laying a strong foundation on Google’s search engine, before seeking out high-value media placements that align with your brand mission.

  • Your most precious asset is your reputation, protect it. Effective crisis management starts with proactively managing your online reputation, and being better equipped to effectively respond to specific incidents. As a consultant I offer an objective sounding board to help you identify your internal, and external, blind spots and manage and recover from crisis.

  • Now, more than ever, people care about the story behind your brand. Together we’ll explore core values that define who you are and what you’re all about, and then package those key themes into juicy, bite-sized stories that can captivate any audience.
