I created DavenPR because I understand what clients expect from their public relations team. Clients want value. They want communication strategies that support their business goals. They want proof of performance. They want timely recommendations and thoughtful, honest counsel. They want sharp, effective writing. They want positive external visibility. They want straight talk and accountability.
They want experience. Because experience matters. It might seem like a lot to ask, but it really isn’t. I know because over my 25-year career, I’ve been the client, responsible for achieving important business objectives for my organization; I’ve been the PR point person, called on to deliver key results; and, I’ve been the journalist, working under tight deadlines to report compelling stories that inform and inspire. In all of these experiences, success required careful listening, strategic planning and flawless execution. It also required integrity. Journalists are looking for news that matters and they are reporting out on more communications platforms than ever. That means more opportunities for organizations looking to tell their powerful stories. I know first-hand how these stories get told. As a former print and television reporter and producer, I learned the art of storytelling through careful listening and paying attention to details. As a media relations manager at one of Minnesota’s largest healthcare systems and later at a major medical device company, I leveraged positive story opportunities and counseled our leaders through crises. I drew on my experience as a journalist, forging multi-tiered strategies highlighting powerful stories that reflected our values and our obligations to our patients and customers. DavenPR will help ensure your story is relevant, compelling, timely and inspirational. Effective and agile communications can boost pride, trust and engagement.
