community relations

Effective community relations are essential to our clients' success.  To be credible, community relations strategies must reflect and respect how the local community operates and be tailored to each situation and location.  Whether building and supporting a local profile, or responding to criticism or controversy, it is imperative for our clients to take a thoughtful approach to stakeholder engagement, issues management, and community investment.  To create true support, outreach must pair localized strategies with the communication channels that are credible in the community.
