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 30 years’ experience helping associations, state agencies, and a member of Congress tell their stories, we can help. Learn more.
EXTERNAL COMMS
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 your audience or yourself? We can craft content that brings your business alive. Learn more.
INTERNAL COMMS
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 or blog post that your audience will read and relate to, we can help.
TESTIMONIALS
“Whenever we need PR support for our clients, John is one of the first people we turn to. He’s a skilled writer and strategic consultant who meets his deadlines and has done a great job helping us promote our clients for more than 10 years.”
– Brenda Forman, President, Merlot Marketing
“John and I served on our local PRSA board together including when I was president in 2021. John was a phenomenal board member. He provided valuable historical knowledge as someone who’d been on the board twice before, and as a great PR pro! In 2023, John was even recognized with our chapter’s top honor, Influencer of the Year, in recognition of all his PR achievements. John is also a great friend and someone you can count on. He acts with great tact and knows how to handle sensitive situations. Last, John also brings a most welcome dry wit and great personality which, along with his expert comms chops, makes him a joy to have on any team!”
– Laine Himmelmann, Principal, Corporate Citizenship Communications, Blue Shield of California
“John is an essential cog in the North State Building Industry Association’s communications machine. As our contracted communications professional, John’s work is – simply – excellent. From op-eds to news releases, John produces outstanding and compelling copy. In addition, his media reach is extensive, and he has placed many stories for BIA in key media markets. I highly recommend John’s services if you need communications consulting for your company.”
– Timothy Murphy, President & CEO, North State BIA
“I’ve worked with John for more than 20 years, first at CBIA when I was its CEO and more recently for the past dozen years at the Family Business Association of California, where he has served as our communications consultant. He has been a full-service consultant, handling media outreach, crafting op-eds, enhancing our social media efforts, and producing an informative electronic news summary each week that is well-read – a product that many members have told me is a valuable benefit of belonging to the FBAC. John’s a pro and I highly recommend him.“
– Robert Rivinius, Political Director, Family Business Assn. of California
