Frequently Asked Questions

Do you operate on a retainer or project basis?
Both structures are available. Long-term reputation management and executive positioning are typically handled via a 6-12 month retainer. Rapid-response crisis management or specific product launches can be scoped as discrete projects.
What is your response time for an active crisis?
For retained clients, crisis response is immediate (24/7 coverage). For new clients facing an active, public-facing incident, emergency onboarding and initial holding statements can generally be formulated within 4 to 6 hours of engagement.
Can you guarantee specific media placements?
In earned media, absolute guarantees contravene journalistic ethics. However, leveraging a decade of editorial relationships and rigorous narrative crafting, I deliver high-probability, targeted placements. We agree on KPIs and target publications prior to campaign launch.
How do you measure the ROI of communications?
I utilize enterprise-grade media monitoring tools to track Share of Voice (SOV), algorithmic sentiment analysis, key message pull-through rates, and ultimately correlate media spikes with your specific business goals (e.g., website traffic, lead volume, or stock stability).
