It might be as simple as "Why aren't my employees able to articulate our company's message?" Or it might be as complex as "What is my organization's overall image throughout the mass media?" The real answers to your organization's communications questions cannot be discovered without an aggressive, intelligent, modern, thorough, comprehensive and honest analysis of both your internal and external communications challenges.

With over 3 decades of experience as an academic and communications strategist, I can provide you with the depth of focus and depth of knowledge you and your organization need to uncover what's really going on with your message. I don't rely solely on traditional methods of research. Instead, I also incorporate modern computerized database research, my own personal network of colleagues in business, industry, government and media, and some intense "get your hands dirty" digging in places few if any researchers would ever think of looking...and I refuse to lie to you when I present you with the results. If you're looking for someone to tell you what you WANT to hear, I'm not the person for you. If you're looking for someone to SHOW you the big picture and explain, in terms you can understand, what's REALLY going on, then please call on me today.

My fees are based on the project as a whole and vary by the client and the nature of the project. I never charge by the hour. Travel expenses (including business class airfare from Tampa, FL to the nearest major airport to your location), business class hotel accommodations and a modest per diem are charged in addition to my professional fees. In most cases, a 50% deposit and travel expenses are required to secure my services and the remainder is due upon completion of the project.
