  • Every project is unique, as are the needs and concerns of each community. We work closely with clients to develop multifaceted public relations campaigns that include strategic planning, branding, media relations, social media coordination, and crisis communications. Thoughtful use of these strategies ensures key stakeholders and members of the public have an opportunity to get involved, voice concerns, and provide input to benefit the project and the community.

     

    Media Relations

    Our public engagement professionals foster productive relationships with the media and develop materials such as press releases and media kits to distribute to media outlets.

     

    Social Media Campaigns

    We provide social media management for the full suite of social media channels. This includes writing, posting, promoting, and monitoring content with particular attention to developing a tone appropriate for client and community needs.

     

    Crisis Planning

    Long before a crisis occurs, our team is prepared with a plan and a scaled communication ladder to ensure all appropriate parties will receive timely notification in the event of a crisis.

  • Horrocks’ Public Engagement team has extensive experience applying online engagement tools to support effective and accessible outreach.

For each project, we help to set procedures and tone, establish meeting goals, and foster open and safe communication. As a partnering facilitator, we open the channels of communication to promote project success. We can also facilitate large, controversial public meetings by utilizing technology (e.g., polling devices, interactive maps, and educational videos) to collect and present information.
