Digital Communications
We believe in developing social media strategies that make sense for our clients. We do not believe that you have to have a social media asset purely because it exists, but rather that you should engage on those platforms that your target audience engages with. We also believe that creating social media campaigns goes a long way in ensuring that the brand is engaging and you get to know your target audience better.
​
One of our core strengths lies in integrating your social media campaign with traditional public relations to ensure that you have a common message across platforms while differentiating yourself from competitors.
​
Our social media services include:
• Social media asset creation
• Community management
• Content development
• Strategic campaigns
Crisis Communications
In a digital world, where social media has become king, the process in which an organisation deals with a sudden emergency situation can make or break that organisation. Our crisis management service takes on a proactive approach rather than a reactive one. We identify potential issues that may arise and find solutions that will rectify them.
​
We handle all the elements of crisis communications on your behalf to reduce the pressure on you.
