Strategic Direction
Strategic thinking is where it all starts. And it's Strata's core strength. We give clients a 360-degree view of the communications landscape and map out directions, milestones, challenges and destinations for every journey. It's like a GPS for your corporate communications – without the robotic voice.
Reputation Management
Corporate reputation and trust are critical to success. But they need to be earned. Strata helps organizations and their leaders communicate achievements, tell authentic stories and demonstrate integrity. We take an integrated approach to reputation management – from internal communications to public engagement.
Issues + Crisis
"We didn't see it coming..." It's the lament of many organizations blindsided by unexpected issues and crises. Strata provides a disciplined, dynamic approach to issues management and crisis planning and response. You've worked hard to build your brand and reputation. We'll help you strengthen and protect them.
Brand Building
We view branding as far more than a marketing or sales function. It's the essence of your company – and the touchstone of your reputation. Our brand management approach maps and targets a broad range of stakeholders and touchpoints. It deepens relationships, and inspires confidence, loyalty and support.
Environmental Relations
If a tree falls in the forest... you'll hear about it. Environmental projects face growing scrutiny. Strata provides deep expertise and experience in community engagement, public consultation and risk communications. Our collaborative approach to environmental relations creates trust and shared success.
Corporate Storytelling
Strata helps clients tell stories in new ways. Stories that resonate with audiences. Narratives with novel approaches. People respond to stories that are relevant – stories that touch their lives. People connecting with people. It's what makes businesses and relationships work. Let's tell your story.
