Media Relations

MAP has an impressive track record managing expert positioning, overall reputation, major personnel or management changes, crises, and educational campaigns. We work with reporters on a local, regional and national level as part of our day-to-day business. We regularly arrange one-on-one meetings with reporters, editorial meetings, press conferences, and create scripts and talking points for leaders. We also write and place hundreds of contributed articles and editorials, and act as spokespeople.

Article, Speech and Content Writing

Does your Web site need creating or updating? Do you have exciting news to share with the community? Want to start a newsletter for your clients? Need to deliver a speech next week? Craft a report? Showcase stories? MAP can write the words for you in whatever format you need. Since our team is comprised of former journalists and English majors, we have the skills to help you put pen to paper (or Internet).

Key Message Development

Key messages are a direct reflection of a company's core values and unique business proposition. MAP helps you identify and craft the company's name, tagline, mission statement, and more. We work with executives to identify goals, strategies and target audiences. We then develop messages that effectively communicate your values and stories in all of your outreach efforts.

Internal Communications

Each employee is an ambassador for the company to the community. As such, employees' fluency in your company's operations and key messages is crucial. MAP can help develop a program that regularly reinforces a company's key messages in ways that ensure employees hear, understand and speak them.

Community Relations

MAP is committed to our local community, with employees maintaining board positions with several arts, culture and non-profit organizations. With this background, we include a community relations component in every communications plan and provide pro-bono or discounted support to our clients on projects that are important to them. This approach is good for your business and your reputation. That means it's good for ours, too.

Investor Relations

In an era of "full disclosure" and corporate turmoil, investor communications are a critical component of any public company's communications plan. MAP has award-winning experience developing content for annual reports, and our investor outreach ranges from handling media inquiries about sensitive financial issues to directly answering phone calls from investors.
