Why Partner With Us?

Our principal and CEO, Nancy Pender, utilizes decades of experience and outstanding journalistic credentials to help clients understand the ground rules for working with reporters, avoid media mistakes and effectively connect with and influence key audiences.

Share Your Message

Marketing and customer communications are critical components of successfully operating a business. However, these core tasks can be overlooked or rushed while managing day-to-day operations. That's where it pays to partner with a reliable and experienced communications and content development team to help spread your message and let current and potential customers know they're valued.

Speak With Impact

It’s not just what you say, but how you say it. Your tone of voice, body language, and eye contact all play a critical role in how an audience receives your message and how well it sticks. Our media and presentation skills coaching, led by experienced workshop facilitators, will show you the subtle, yet critical steps you can take to become a more self-assured, impactful communicator.

Avoid and Manage a Crisis

In today’s digital world, potentially damaging news travels faster than ever before. That’s why effective crisis management is one of the most important functions of public relations. We can help you prepare for and manage a media crisis so it becomes a minor distraction rather than reputation-destroying disaster.
