WHAT WE DO

KGL is a full-service PR firm that offers strategic communications services to clients across a wide range of industries. From thought leadership to coalition management, KGL helps clients reframe conversations, develop meaningful messages and increase visibility among their targeted publics in rewarding, measurable, ways.

Crisis Communications

In times of crises, every organization needs prompt, clear communication that reassures the public, clients and the media. At KGL, we specialize in rapid response to high impact situations where our clients need immediate assistance. We leverage crisis situations to rebuild trust by ensuring accurate media coverage, mobilizing third-party support and executing concise internal and external communication.

Media Relations

Our communications team conducts a top to bottom internal and external audit of organizations to uncover two things. First, what does the current media coverage look like? And second, what angles and story-worthy content should be highlighted to generate media coverage that supports the client’s goals? We utilize long-standing relationships with key media contacts across a multitude of communication channels to garner earned media coverage of an organization’s mission and initiatives in a positive and credible manner.

Community Engagement

Community interaction is tricky and must be handled with care. We understand that strong and meaningful community goes beyond events and photo-ops. Success relies on a strong, mutually beneficial relationship with the community - which has to be earned, not given. Our firm knows how to promote awareness within distinct communities and build relationships that help advance client goals.

Issues Management

An organization’s brand is only as strong as its first impression. Our communications team proactively works with clients to monitor and respond accordingly to emerging trends and industry changes. Through our anticipatory and strategic management process, we develop an in-depth communication plan to minimize potential threats or leverage opportunities.

Media Training

At KGL, we believe that everyone can be their own best spokesperson for their issue. That’s why we help train executives and leaders to be comfortable on camera and in front of reporters. We’ve worked with a wide variety of organizations and specialize in providing specific, tangible guidance to make sure our clients put their best foot forward when they are under the spotlight.

Public Affairs

KGL provides strategic public relations management for our clients that utilizes organic opportunities to bring varied groups together for one purpose. Our communications team translates your organization’s business strategy into an integrated communications plan leveraging paid, owned and shared media platforms to reach their intended audiences. Through specialized programming, we maximize your organization’s potential to create positive, fruitful relationships between you and your publics that drives results and revenue.

Strategic Planning

By having an inside-out focus, we help our clients see around the corner so they can anticipate challenges - and opportunities - far enough in advance to take advantage of them. We write and execute thorough communication plans to get our clients to a place where they are ready for anything.

Affiliations

Our existing relationships are varied and rich. By establishing working affiliations with government, civic, non-profit and other organizations, we are able to deliver more immediate results to our clients. Guided by our expertise grounded in years of work and outreach, we pass along the same valuable knowledge and successful outcomes to our clients.
