Services

Public Relations

We are here when you want to protect, enhance or build your brand. We will find the positive messages within your organization and translate them into positive press coverage.

Crisis Management

When in a crisis, you need to know how to respond. We work closely with you to develop a plan and statement should you need it. We can also be the port of contact to take media calls and answer those difficult questions for you.

Events

Are you launching your company, a product, a new menu or want to put on a glittering awards ceremony? And want the press there and talking about it? We can help!

Social Media

No idea the difference between a tweet or a hashtag? We can help. We can provide training and come up with a social media strategy for your brand. Or if you don’t have time to manage your social media accounts, we can do them for you!
