FaegreBD Consulting's professionals include former journalists who have devised and carried out media relations programs for corporations, not-for-profit organizations and officials at all levels of government. We understand the complexities of local, state and federal public policy debates as well as the challenges of communications surrounding crises litigation and mergers and acquisitions.

These media relations professionals work closely with client communications, government relations and legal professionals to manage effectively media inquiry response, media monitoring and media engagement – whether in a relatively "routine" situation or a full-blown crisis.

When it is important that a client's executives take a leading role with the media, our professionals work with them to hone message delivery and prepare to deal with the questions our experience shows reporters, regulators or policymakers are most likely to ask.

This work is always built on a firm basis of research, message development and message testing. Our professionals also work with clients to identify appropriate allies who can lend credibility to media outreach.

FaegreBD Consulting has considerable experience working with local media as well as with national outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and major electronic news organizations.
