WELCOME

Businesses and associations have important stories to tell their customers and members. Unfortunately, they’re often too busy to tell them. That’s where we come in.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS

If you are a business or association, sometimes you need to help shape public opinion. With more than 20 years’ experience helping associations, state agencies, and a member of Congress tell their stories, we can help. Learn more.

EXTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS

Businesses need to tell their story to their potential customers, and one of the first places customers go to find out more is your website. Is your content aimed at consumers or yourself? We can craft content that brings your business alive. Learn more.

INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS

Communication with your members and employees is essential to your success. We can help you identify what you need to say and the best channels for getting your messages across. Learn more.

FREELANCE WRITING

Journalism is in our blood, and we’ve written everything from investigative pieces to profiles to whimsical articles over the years. If you need an article your audience will read and relate to, we can help.

TESTIMONIALS

We asked John to help us with our communications needs in early 2016, and since then he’s provided valuable counsel, completely revamped our online magazine, and helped us greatly improve our local media presence. He understands real estate and I highly recommend him.”

– Marta Golding Brown, Ventura County Coastal AOR

“John is terrific. He’s got excellent “news sense” and knows how to create messages that resonate and work for the client. He’s also responsive to members, knows how to work with elected officials, and has a great reputation with the media. They trust him.

And unlike a lot of wordsmiths, he knows how to manage projects and respect deadlines. I’ve always enjoyed working with him and knew I could always depend on his judgment.”

– Kevin Eckery, Eckery Associates

“When our association faced the possibility of negative PR a couple of years ago, we called on John to give us advice on how to handle a planned protest demonstration. Thanks to his counsel, we were ready and prepared and a possible crisis was averted. John knows his stuff.”

– Michael Strech, North State BIA

I worked with John closely for nine years at CBIA when I was its CEO, so when I needed a communications professional to provide services for our new Family Business Association, I asked him to help out. For over four years now, he has produced an informative electronic news summary each week that is well-read and that many members have told me is a valuable benefit of belonging to the FBA. He’s also done a lot of public affairs work for us as well as an informative research project. John’s a pro and I highly recommend him.”

– Robert Rivinius, Family Business Assn.
