Strategic Communications
Connect through plans integrated with your goals
We help create a two-way dialogue so you can learn from people in the community, then deliver messages that are relevant and compelling.
With decades of experience using methods honed by the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC), we help synthesize overall business goals with the communications strategies that succeed.
Public Shift has successfully created overall corporate strategies based on the business plans of municipal organizations, start-up companies and community groups. We have helped create effective communications strategies for individual products, social behaviour campaigns, and election marketing.
Issues management requires higher level strategic planning that turns solid preparation into rapid information sharing.
For public agencies, we can help integrate public input strategies with crisis communications planning, a method we were first to develop to advance the priority goal of any government: preserving safety and security of the people they serve.
Public Shift makes sure you employ a range of the best integrated tactics--media relations, social media, events, multimedia, public connections, signage, advertising, and more--in the most cost-effective and aligned manner.
