Press and Public Relations
Public policy and awareness successes don’t happen by accident. They take long range planning and careful execution. Having been involved in many public policy and awareness campaigns, Ripple Communications knows how to design campaigns with all the elements to ensure success. We know how to promote good news and manage the not-so-good news. We build coalitions and partnerships to help amplify your message. And we will help you develop the skills that ensure that every media opportunity is just that — an opportunity.
Advocacy
While many organizations spend thousands on lobbying, no one can advocate for your business or cause better than you and your team. Why not train your employees, board or association members to be advocates? No one can tell your story more passionately. Ripple Communications has extensive experience in training organizations to be their own best advocates with key stakeholders and public officials. We provide training on how to get the meetings you need, how to conduct them, how to analyze the take-aways and follow up, how to develop a network of allies and how to mobilize advocacy networks to advance your public policy or awareness initiative. We know how policy makers think and what they listen to. We also know what gets ignored. We can help to ensure that you get real results from your advocacy investments.
Public Speaking and Media Training
As a communications professor, Karen Nussle knows how to teach others in public speaking, presentation and media skills. It’s not always who has the best PowerPoint! Successful public speaking is about knowing your audience, identifying with them, capturing their attention and leaving a lasting impression. Ripple Communications can train you, your top executives, or your entire advocacy network in contemporary public speaking, presentation and media interview techniques.
