Today, more and more companies are faced with the difficult task of communicating layoffs, hiring deferrals, salary cutbacks, project delays and store closings. To help navigate this business unusual landscape, Maven has launched the Maven Strategic Response Group, an on-demand, issues management team that helps companies develop and execute market-related communications strategies.

Maven’s seasoned team offers a full range of issues management services that can be deployed on a per-project, hourly or retainer basis to provide immediate tactical response and long term strategic communications counsel. Services include employee communications, media relations, spokesperson identification and training, key stakeholder outreach, social media strategies and ongoing traditional and social media monitoring to analyze campaign strategies and respond accordingly.

“In today’s economic environment, having a clear, focused approach to communicate your organization’s economic position is an essential part of any overall business strategy,” said Rebecca Devine, Principal, Maven Communications. “Unfortunately, most companies don’t have the resources or budget to develop and execute these strategies for short and long term success. From press release development to social media outreach to internal communications, our strategies will ensure you help build bridges, not burn them, during tough economic times and beyond.”

Our experienced team has counseled clients through financial and product communications crises; plant closings; mergers and acquisitions; corporate criminal investigations and real estate development crisis. Maven’s team can work seamlessly with your current marketing, HR and legal teams to help communicate your corporate position clearly and confidently to achieve the best possible outcome.
