Our Expertise
ALRC strategists work in partnership with clients to secure an expanded presence in myriad media formats and forums to share their personal stories and brand messages with appropriate audiences. The Agency’s goal is not to manufacture an image for any client, but rather to establish and project its existing identity to a broadened group of target audiences.
We leverage years of experience and all the public relations vehicles available to help manage issues, framing the client’s message and getting it to the right people at the right time.
Thought Leadership
Today’s audiences crave authenticity. Thought leadership uses public relations strategies to amplify a client’s unique insights, perspective or experience to genuinely connect with a wider audience and establish a leader as an authoritative resource and/or media source experts.
Utilizing social media posts, blogs, podcasts, Op-eds, guest articles, speaking opportunities and interviews, ALRC helps leaders extend their existing authority and influence to create lasting connections with their targeted stakeholders.
Spokesperson Training
ALRC has led spokesperson training for executives, internationally-known Christian leaders, D.C.-based think tanks and advocacy organizations, businesses, educational institutions, ministries and numerous others.
We focus on equipping leaders and spokespeople with the skills, tools and practice to communicate confidently and effectively across various platforms.
Our tailored coaching sessions are based on research into the client’s strengths, weaknesses and potential media traps, delving into message development, as well as theoretical and practical training.
Reputation Management
A good reputation takes years to build but only seconds to lose. ALRC’s crisis and reputation management team utilizes a blend of strategic communications, digital monitoring and crisis management to help clients project and enhance their identity for long-term viability, not manufacture one for short-term expediency.
ALRC works with many clients on proactive crisis planning, including the development of a customized Crisis Message Action Plan (M.A.P.) and Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (S.W.O.T.) analysis to identify risks and provide a detailed roadmap for crisis response.
Event Media Relations
From generating pre-event buzz to on-site media management to post-event coverage, ALRC works to craft compelling stories that captivate media attention and resonate with your audience, motivating them to action. We navigate the media landscape with precision, securing coverage that amplifies your event’s reach and impact.
Active Crisis Communications
Just as lawyers provide legal representation in court, a qualified outside crisis consultant can supply professional objectivity and experience in the face of an organizational crisis. A. Larry Ross Communications (ALRC) is skilled at handling difficult, smoldering, evolving or explosive incidents and scenarios and helping clients identify and plan for potential risk scenarios.
Media Relations
ALRC’s principled approach, industry knowledge and extensive relationships create opportunities for our clients to gain positive exposure, educate their targeted audience about their mission and increase their brand awareness.
