Community Engagement & Focus Groups

We Plan
Public engagement is key for a project of any size. By working with you to clearly identify public impacts and impacted parties, we help you avoid issues saving costs and project delays. We help factor into your project plans the community engagement with key stakeholders you will need to be successful.

We Execute
Reaching communities in today’s fast-paced environment is challenging. Direct and in-person outreach can make the difference in a project’s ability to develop local champions and gather meaningful public input and buy-in. We both provide strategic consultation and help you execute on the strategy.

We are Accountable
We both provide strategic consultation and help you execute
on the strategy. By being available through the whole process we help ensure your success. Our success is your success.

Diversity Matters / Cultural and Linguistic Competency

Our communities are diverse, which is why a one-size-fits-all approach to communications and marketing will not deliver results. Let us help you develop linguistically and culturally appropriate outreach communications and marketing campaigns that are respectful of diversity.

Stakeholder Mapping

We conduct a scan of the local community to identify the stakeholders that will most be impacted and interested in your project. By proactively engaging a range of diverse stakeholders we help anticipate and address concerns, and help identify project champions.

Local Workforce Development 

We identify local vendors and workers to help your business develop a local presence and provide an economic boost to the communities where you work. We successfully engage with local government, unions and labor organizations to help you meet your supplier and workforce goals.

Social Investment & Community Partnership

Social responsibility investing makes sense and speaks to your commitment to being a good corporate citizen and local partner. Let us help you identify and develop working partnerships with trusted organizations that are making a difference in the communities you work in.

Media Readiness & Crisis Communications

We help you prepare for media inquiries and also proactively engage media, including ethnic media. If needed, we also provide crisis communications, but if you do all of the above you will not need it.

Accessible Technical Terminology

You know your stuff, but the general public does not. We develop accessible communications for complex projects, and have experience working with engineers, geologists, planners architects, regulators, construction teams, etc. Let us prepare your team of subject matter experts communicate effectively.

Communication Materials

We develop the tools needed to effectively engage your audience — fact sheets, electronic/ print newsletters, social media, PowerPoint presentations, poster boards, etc. Our team also provides creative direction to help you look your best.

Public Meetings & Events

We plan and manage meetings and events small and large, including securing vendors. We create the environment desired for the type of engagement you want to have with invited guests
