CONSULTING
Kevin is the founder of Ellis Strategy, LLC., a communications consultancy advising non-profit and private sector clients on complex political and public relations strategy.
Ellis Strategy grew out of his experience in journalism and political advocacy, which require simplifying complex policy and political issues to understandable language that drives political action.
He advises clients of all kinds how to navigate political and communications challenges. This includes:
-
It’s hard to do but it works! From the small non-profit to giant companies.
Acknowledge the problem
Take responsibility. (Always from the leader)
Overcorrect and do it quickly.
-
What is the goal? Who is the audience? What do we say? How do we say it? Solve for that and you are on your way to communicating effectively.
-
Kevin writes speeches, white papers, and op-ed pieces for clients from CEOs to governors.
-
You need to raise capital for your start-up or run a capital campaign for your non-profit. Kevin tells you where to start and guides you through the process.
-
PR is far more than a press release now. It’s social media, an op-ed piece, thought leadership, relationships with key journalists and most importantly - the community.
-
That meet-and-greet with the governor is often a waste of their time and yours. Better to identify the decision-makers on your issue, understand their needs and how your proposal fits into their strategy. We guide you through the whole process.
-
The ivory tower is gone. The work landscape is forever changed. Everyone is watching - your staff, your board, political leaders, business partners. And they all want a stake in your mission. And that gets complicated. We give you the road map.
-
Finding the right executive to run your organization goes way beyond hiring a search firm. It’s about getting your board focused on the mission, brining your rolodex to bear, getting the word our beyond the shot in the dark websites and making it personal.
