There has never been a more critical time for local governments and utilities to communicate the value of the services you provide. Now, more than ever, meaningful, deliberate, and strategic communication efforts can make the difference. Well-crafted strategic communications can build trust, reputation, influence and brand equity. We specialize in strategic communication counsel, public engagement, and community involvement, and can provide the guidance, structure, strategies, and tactics to help make your new program, infrastructure project, or revenue request successful and avoid costly delays and reputational crises.
We know engaging marginalized communities is essential, and when done well it leads to better decision-making, empowered community members, and stronger ties between the local government and the people it serves. Engaging marginalized communities means listening first, and then developing a comprehensive plan that is adaptable and flexible.

Did you know that more than 80% of us are visual learners? Yet, our standard meeting structure is to get a bunch of people in a room or online and talk. Sometimes we include a presentation slide deck, but the slides are often just text with an image or two. Studies show that visual images combined with text, increases memory retention up to 89% (Robert Horn, Stanford University). Before you suffer through yet another lengthy Zoom meeting, consider that there is a better way.
