The language of crisis communication.

When crises hit, your every word gets picked apart. Yet staying silent is rarely an option.

our philosophy

We believe in acting fast – but acting smart. We zero in on the eye of the storm – the perceptional and emotional foundation of the crisis – and develop the pre-tested language strategy that helps minimize damage and maximize recovery.

our approach

Ideally, the best way out of a crisis begins with a sober assessment of the facts – and emotions – at its root. When time is of the essence, we have shortcuts to such understanding. We work quickly to develop and stress test the strongest possible responses so we know before trying how people will react. And we identify the most powerful language strategy to help guide you through your crisis with confidence.

our experience

From entire industries such as banking and beauty to specific products and issues such as OxyContin and direct mail, we deliver precise language strategies that help change the debate.
