How we do it

We invest the time to develop proactive and strategic communications plans

Public Affairs

By investing time upfront with our clients in discovery and information-gathering sessions, Pierpont’s communications and public affairs experts can craft proactive and strategic PR plans. This early phase also helps us forge strong partnerships with our clients.

Power Mapping

Pierpont identifies key influencers that can help affect change, whether they are individuals or organizations, and maps their relationships to decision-makers.

Message Development

As we refine our clients’ communications strategy, we develop an overall statement or value proposition, that is supported by evidence, keywords, and proof points. Collectively, these drive all client messaging, whether via news releases, blog posts or talking points for media interviews.

Media & Public Testimony Training

To ensure our clients’ representatives convey the right messages, we coach and train designated spokespeople through time-tested practice sessions. These sessions focus on building confidence, not anxiety.
