Whether it's expanding hospitals, rebuilding roadways, launching civic campaigns, or developing real estate, we steer our clients through the local media environment and the legislative, regulatory or municipal minefields they encounter along the way.

We build public momentum behind an issue or project and appropriately position clients to both stakeholders and decision makers.  When needed, we also help our clients through crises, working zealously to protect their reputations.      

Our client list demonstrates our versatility in working across a broad range of industries.  Although by no means exhaustive, we find a few examples most clearly illustrate the value we provide clients. 

• Health Care
  We have extensive health care industry experience, helping local community hospitals and regional health care providers expand their facilities and positively position themselves in an increasingly competitive marketplace.  We have also assisted clients on critical legislative and regulatory issues such as charity care policies, medical malpractice reform, and Medicaid funding. 

• Transportation
  Our transportation experience cuts across the industry and includes handling airport expansion and expressway reconstruction, rail transportation expansion and safety, and the larger picture of how they all tie together to meet the region's transportation needs.   In each of these cases, we use grassroots campaigns, community relations, and media relations to bring projects from the drawing board to reality.  

• Environment
  Environmental issues increasingly dominate the agenda for businesses and non-profits.  We have worked for environmental foundations, development companies, not-for-profit hospitals and corporations facing environmental issues.  We offer strategic counsel, communications assistance and consensus building tactics to help clients navigate the landscape of environmental protection and reach their goals. 

• Real Estate
  Moving a real estate project from the drawing board to the ribbon cutting is an arduous process.  We help clients clear political and regulatory hurdles while communicating openly to their constituencies, both internally and those from the community they're entering.

We invite you to look at a representative list of current and recent clients. 

Some clients, though, wish not to be listed and we respect their desire for privacy.   Regardless of the issue or the industry, protecting our clients' reputations, while helping them achieve their goals, is always our top priority. 

We're also proud of the pro bono work we do for worthy organizations in need of communications assistance. Individuals at every level of our staff give their time and talents to help these and other organizations reach their goals.
