01 — Practice Dossiers

Four specialized practice groups. Each with its own dedicated analyst bench.

We staff by category, not by headcount. Every practice carries senior strategists, dedicated analyst coverage, and category-specific media relationships — so a CCO buys depth, not a rotation of juniors.

02 — Methodology

The Narrative Atlas™ turns ambiguous positioning into a measurable media narrative.

Our proprietary framework maps every audience — analysts, journalists, regulators, employees, buyers — against every channel, then sequences the story so each tier reinforces the next. It is repeatable, defensible, and cited by Harvard Business Review in 2023.

  1. 01

    Audience cartography

    Map the full stakeholder set — reporters, analysts, regulators, employees, named accounts — by influence, reach, and bias.

  2. 02

    Narrative sequencing

    Build the story so tier-1 placements land first, analyst briefings follow, and downstream channels inherit the same frame.

  3. 03

    Channel orchestration

    Coordinate owned, earned, and internal channels under one P&L — so a single narrative arc moves every audience in lockstep.

  4. 04

    Measurement loop

    Track share-of-voice, sentiment, and downstream pipeline against a four-publisher benchmark — and adjust quarterly.

Audited over rolling 24-month periods. Measured against a four-publisher benchmark. Documented in client quarterly reviews.

04 — The Desk

A 40-person senior bench. Former journalists. Former operators. Not a 200-seat junior-staffed agency.

The bench itself is the product. Every engagement is staffed with senior strategists who have carried the press list, the analyst relationship, and the crisis room — never handed off to a junior team after the kickoff call.
