CK Communications

CK Communications is much more than your average marketing firm. Our team of expert advisors has a strong background in storytelling, journalism, communications and marketing. But it isn’t talent alone that allows our team to achieve such results for our clients.

What sets CK Communications apart from the average agency?

We believe in the magic of powerful storytelling to build strong relationships and human connections between a brand and its audience. To make consumers fall in love with your brand, you have to make an emotional connection.

If you find your business in the midst of a PR crisis – we’ve got your back. Count on CK Communications to protect your brand, manage the media, and help you rebuild and recover.

In today’s digital age, the most successful public relations and marketing campaigns are data-driven. At CK Communications, every move we make is measurable. We approach each campaign analytically, conducting our own market research prior to diving in.

We combine our analytical, next-generational approach with our lived experience. From private sector companies, to not-for-profits, to major public institutions, we’ve done it all. You can feel confident when you turn to CK Communications.

Companies and organizations cannot simply purchase a positive reputation and credible image — because they aren’t for sale. Great publicity must be earned, and every brand has a unique story to tell. Let CK Communications tell yours.

Public Relations

A good PR story is infinitely more effective than a front page ad

As public relations practitioners, we believe it is our duty to become trusted counsel for our clients. We work closely with them to understand perceptions and concerns so that we can support strategic decision making. We analyze, anticipate and interpret public opinion, attitudes, and issues that might impact, for good or ill, the operations and plans of an organization.  We can help our clients anticipate issues and proactively work to address them to avoid negative consequences. When all is said and done, we work to protect and enhance our clients’ image through ethical and strategic practices.

Let us handle everything!

  • Building your online presence
  • Gaining interview exposure
  • Press Releases
  • Reputation & Image Repair
  • Image Consulting

We believe our professional values are vital to the integrity of the profession as a whole. We follow the values and guidelines of the Public Relations Society of America. https://www.prsa.org/about/ethics/prsa-code-of-ethics
