• Media relations: Prism has extensive experience working with national, international and regional media and the trade press.Our team, which includes former print and broadcast journalists, tailors media programs to get the right message to the right audience at the right time. Prism serves as a primary spokesperson for some clients. For others, we provide strategy and support in a less public role.
  
  
• Editorial services: Any successful communications effort begins with clear, compelling messages. Prism produces effective, on-message materials including white papers, Web content, advertising, and op-eds. We specialize in developing materials that communicate effectively in complex areas such as legislative issue campaigns, litigation and crises.
  
  
• Coalition development and management: Prism builds and manages coalitions with the goal of developing a unified message and communications strategy to achieve client success. We identify, recruit and coordinate third-party allies to multiply the voices that support our client's strategic objectives.
  
  
• Media and presentation training: Every successful press interview is the result of careful preparation, successful execution and keen understand of the unwritten rules of communicating with the press. We have worked with CEOs, government officials, spokespersons and coalition third-party allies to prepare clients for media interviews, presentations and congressional hearings.
  
  
• Advertising and web-based strategies: Many times the best way to control your message is to present it in your own words, without the filter of the media or the cloud of competing messages. Prism develops the best way to reach target audiences, whether through advertising, web development, or web-based campaigns.
  
  
• Events: From time to time, an organization may find that a special event is necessary to reach a target audience - a briefing breakfast with reporters, an issue round table, a coalition fly-in or a major roll-out campaign. The Prism team has experience in providing all aspects of event management from planning to implementation.
