Frequently Asked Questions

How do you handle opposition research drops and leaked documents?
We deploy same-news-cycle response strategies. Within the first hour, we assess the material, identify the most damaging elements, develop factual rebuttals and contextual framing, and distribute to allied media contacts and digital channels. The goal is to ensure no news cycle closes with only the opposition narrative available.
Can you help during a DOJ or congressional investigation?
We develop communications strategies that demonstrate cooperation and transparency without making statements that could be used against the official legally. We coordinate closely with defense counsel to ensure all public communications are legally approved while maintaining the public persona of an official who has nothing to hide.
Do you work with both political parties?
We provide crisis communications services to officials, agencies, and organizations across the political spectrum. Our approach is strategic and fact-based regardless of party affiliation. We maintain strict confidentiality between clients and never share information or strategies between competing political entities.
How do you counter social media misinformation campaigns?
We deploy comprehensive digital monitoring, rapid fact-checking, coordinated platform reporting for clear policy violations, and positive content amplification strategies. We also work with allied voices and trusted validators to counter false narratives with credible alternative messaging.
What does political crisis preparedness include?
Preparedness programs include vulnerability assessments that identify potential attack vectors, pre-built response templates for likely crisis scenarios, media training, digital rapid response infrastructure setup, and opposition research review. We recommend annual reassessments aligned with election cycles.
