Strategic Communications

Offering public opinion often requires articulating and advancing a narrative in adversarial environments. Crestview Strategy professionals are experienced in supporting organizations to address issues, answer criticism and manage opposition. We help our clients tell their story with impact, in the right place, at the right time. This includes:

• Litigation Communications

  Traversing the intersection of law and public perception to minimize exposure and protect reputation in times of legal disputes requires specialized technical communications. We assist clients with communications when issues are before the court, managing key stakeholders, deterring negative media, and rebuilding reputation following an adverse judgment or incident.

• Transaction Communications

  Building trust and credibility with the investor community and critical stakeholders. We provide financial and capital market participants with strategic communications advice, counsel, and execution focusing on private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, and pension funds.

• Employee Engagement

  Enhancing reputation or managing an issue is more effective if internal audiences are aware, engaged, and support organizational goals. Crestview Strategy develops internal communications plans and strategies that resonate with employees, focusing on their perspectives and how they can contribute to organizational success.
