Media Training
Anxious about dealing with the media? We can help. We know what reporters want, so we can help craft your messages, share tips that keep you on target, and ensure your presentation is clear and right for your audience.
Nonverbal communication skills are important too — what to do, what to avoid, and how to troubleshoot if you misspeak or stumble during an interview. Practice your skills with videotaped sessions and benefit from critiques from our media image professionals.
Media Relations
Anyone can write a news release, but it takes more than writing to get media attention and coverage. Our strong relationships with reporters and editors means we successfully place stories time and time again.
Crisis Communications
The best time to develop a crisis communications plan is before you need one — and before the image of your company or organization suffers from negative media stories. So let's get going. We'll develop your plan and prepare key company players to respond to crises. Already in the midst of a crisis? We offer immediate crisis management services and will help guide your communications until the storm passes. Then we'll help assess the damage and move your company beyond.
Public Affairs/Government Outreach
If your goal is policy change, JGroup can help. We'll develop meaningful messages and outreach plans that influence decision makers. We'll also coordinate communication strategies and develop constituencies and community relations that help your organization shape legislation, educate policymakers and the public, or gain support for important events. We will identify and engage the people you need to deliver your message — and we know how to make sure the right people hear it.
