Two lanes

Government

Strategic Communications for Public Leadership

  • Message architecture for high-conflict issues
  • Hearing and public-meeting briefing prep
  • Q&A libraries and objection handling
  • Internal alignment so staff and leadership don’t contradict each other
  • Clarity on what to say, what not to say, and when to stay silent
Campaigns

Public Relations for Political Candidates

  • Media relations (pitching, responses, follow-up)
  • Rapid response and crisis management
  • Press releases, statements, and talking points
  • Debate prep and interview prep
  • Surrogate and coalition messaging alignment

What you get

Core deliverables

  • Message framework (themes, proof points, boundaries)
  • Issue-specific Q&A packets
  • Briefing notes for events, meetings, and interviews
  • Response templates for common attacks

PR deliverables (campaign lane)

  • Press release templates and statement library
  • Media list buildout and outreach strategy
  • Earned media pitch angles tied to your district
  • Crisis playbook (what happens in the first 2 hours)

How it works

  1. Intake: goals, threats, constraints, and decision-makers.
  2. Build: message framework + Q&A + briefing materials.
  3. Pressure test: hostile questions, opposition framing, likely headlines.
  4. Execute: ongoing edits, rapid response, and media support as needed.

Best for

  • Leaders facing organized opposition or escalating hearings
  • Candidates dealing with local media, activists, or opposition research
  • Teams that need message discipline across staff, volunteers, and surrogates
  • Campaigns that want earned media without stepping on landmines
