Blueprint Communications is a public relations firm focused on helping clients achieve their strategic communications objectives.
What differentiates Blueprint Communications from many public affairs firm is our approach. We are not only strategists seeking to ask ‘big picture’ questions; we also are implementers who get down in the weeds to get the work done.
We work closely with our clients to develop a plan, and then work tirelessly to execute it. This is why many of our clients have retained us for years.
Our services include:
Strategic Communications Campaigns
At Blueprint Communications, we begin the strategic planning process by defining objectives and the strategies needed to achieve them. We work to identify key audiences such as current and potential clients, opinion leaders, policymakers and the general public and develop the messages that will resonate with them. We then create the tactics necessary to successfully deliver those messages. Finally, we undertake the most important phase of the campaign: successful execution.
Media Relations
Whether it’s responding to a press inquiry or picking up the phone to pitch a story idea, experience is critical. We have decades of experience in working with reporters across the country and around the world and understand that media relations at its best is a two-way street. At Blueprint Communications, we work with our clients to identify ways they can be helpful to reporters, become useful sources, and get their messages to key audiences through the media.
Crisis Communications
There are times when bad media coverage seems inevitable either as an isolated story or a stream of negative coverage. We work with our clients to anticipate potential crises and prepare, limit the damage when a crisis hits, and put their best foot forward on a path out of trouble. Our professionals have been through negative news cycles as part of political campaigns and in the private sector at the highest levels. We are steady hands who move quickly and effectively to guide the process and work through challenging times.
