Public Relations

GCCG has demonstrated success in creating awareness and enhancing the image of our clients through a combination of strategic community, government and media relations. We also provide crisis communications and issues management for public- and private-sector clients.

Community relations
GCCG builds consensus through a variety of methods that are designed to resonate with the target audience, including focus groups, grassroots campaigns and local outreach.

Government relations
GCCG is able to guide clients through the public process as a result of its established working relationships with local, state and federal agencies and officials. The consensus-building that results from our community-relations efforts is combined with direct advocacy with key decision-makers.

Media relations
GCCG’s experienced team of former reporters and editors has cultivated meaningful and productive relationships with key local and regional media. We provide press releases, fact sheets, media kits and op-ed pieces. GCCG is also available to serve as spokesperson for clients.

Issues management/Crisis communications
GCCG works with clients to prepare a comprehensive crisis-communications plan that can be easily executed should the need arise. Our experienced issues-management professionals can also provide critical guidance in any emergency situation, as well as drafting statements and press releases for clients, handling media requests and using our established relationships with the media to ensure the client’s side of the story is told.

Nonprofit development
GCCG offers assistance with organizational development, fundraising and strategic planning for nonprofit organizations. We provide management expertise to strengthen board development; formulate strategies for the growth and preservation of organizations; and offer fundraising support for operational and capital projects.
