It’s ten minutes to midnight. You are dreading the new day. You have a problem and you need a solution. That’s where we come in. We put together the public affairs strategy to get you from losing to winning so you can have a good night sleep.
What We Do:
PUBLIC AFFAIRS STRATEGY Winning the public opinion war is the same as winning any campaign. A complete approach of layered communications gets you from no to yes. We have been fighting tough fights for decades and winning campaigns. We quarterback your grassroots, grasstops and media relations to build the support you need to get the results you need. In doing so, we break down silos between communications for corporations and initiatives seeking results. The same communications tactics and strategies that help get presidents, senators, and Members of Congress elected can help your business manage the complex hurdles that stand in the way of getting what you want. Whether it’s defeating a legislative proposal that could cost you millions, winning a crucial vote for approval of a game-changing project, or simply keeping your employees up to date and informed, we help you put your most persuasive message out front and keep it there. We aren’t looking for a long-term retainer. We aren’t interested in managing your brand. We are at our best when you have a time limited project and there’s a clear win. Because we are focused helping you win, we will work the project, tell you the bitter truth, and come up with the approach you need. COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGY Few things can be as intimidating as dealing with the media. When you’re standing at a podium and there’s a microphone and a camera stuck in your face, the pressure is all on you. We can help you prepare for these events and, more importantly, build a custom plan to make them work in your favor. We’ll put together the strategy, the media contact lists, the messaging, provide the training, and prepare the talking points to make sure you’re on message every time Media Relations In today’s hyper-competitive, non-stop news environment, keeping the media informed and educated about who you are, what you want, and how you plan to get it is crucial. From television news to the online community, one poorly placed bit of incorrect information can take you off track for weeks. We help you establish and maintain positive, productive relationships with the media to ensure the most favorable coverage possible for your project and protect your brand. Crisis Management and Crisis Communications It is expected that the unexpected will happen when you’re running a campaign. That comes with the territory. We offer a rare set of crisis communications experiences which will help any corporation or organization get through emergency situations. In order to effectively handle a crisis, time is of the essence and sometimes that first 24 hours can make or break a communications strategy. When you have us on your team, successful crisis management begins minute one. Court of Public Opinion Strategies We live in a 24/7 news cycle where the media never sleeps. In that environment, media coverage can influence the outcome of a legal case. We know it’s not supposed to happen, but we know it does. The Dover Group, unlike traditional public relations firms in the legal sphere, offers something unique: a laser focus on winning. We manage the media and the court of public opinion so that you’re free to focus on winning the case.
