Does ‘public relations’ confuse you? Often times we are approached about what it is that we do exactly, and whether or not public relations is a necessity for your project or your business. Our answer, of course, is YES. But why?
Because we know your audience and how to communicate with them effectively! And whether you’re developing a new project requiring permitting or running a business that carries obvious risk potential – you only get one chance to make a first impression.
While the “public” part of PR encompasses things like, government affairs, media relations, press conferences and community outreach, most of what we do is behind-the-scenes. We are passionate about our clients and we get deep into the trenches with you to truly understand your project and your goals. Then we figure out how best to communicate – your often technical and complex issues – to the community, the media and the decision makers.
When elected officials decide the fate of your project, public opinion is critical! But who’s defining you to the public? Is it the media? Professional opposition groups? The neighbors surrounding the project? Your competitors? It should be you along with the most credible and influential people in the community.
