Media Relations

These assignments are highly confidential and can be discussed in a face-to-face meeting.

Communicating a complicated or multi-faceted issue often requires a well-developed, flexible strategy to address dynamic situations.  This is where MMC shines.  Our decades of experience in the communication of public policy issues allows us to utilize an arsenal of strategies and tactics in a cost-effective manner.  Our partners have supported both large and small companies with these services in community affairs, government relations, media outreach and other targeted stakeholder relations.
