The team members at Common Ground are experts at managing Crisis Communication. We were able to take immediate and decisive action when the media spotlight landed on one of our plants at Thermadyne. Denise made sure there was appropriate media training for our managers on the front line and we were able to respond with an appropriate, open and honest dialogue with news media and other stakeholders. One bit of advice though - don't wait for a crisis to hire Common Ground!

Media Training and Media Relations

We practice an integrated approach to public relations, including strategic planning, issues management and community engagement. We also understand that for many clients, media relations are of the utmost importance and often the most measurable of the results we garner.

Our team works with each client to develop and train internal leadership and subject-matter experts in preparation for media outreach. Reporters and producers frequently tell us how pleased they are with how our clients present and deliver credible and relevant information.

While most PR firms spend a lot of time creating news releases and making a big production out of the distribution, Common Ground Public Relations relies heavily on our ability to develop multiple creative story angles appropriate for a wide range of media – including traditional print, broadcast and online/social media.

We integrate a very strategic approach to media relations outreach. As trained journalists ourselves, we take the time to develop a story, validate it, and communicate with media contacts in a professional way.

The results speak for themselves: literally hundreds of media placements for the widest variety of clients imaginable.
