WHAT WE DO:

PR & PUBLIC AFFAIRS 

 

PUBLIC RELATIONS

By refining your message through research, using our trusted relationships with media from Michigan to D.C. and telling your story through interviews, podcast, press conferences, groundbreakings, and more, we get results. 

SOCIAL MEDIA & DIGITAL 

ADVERTISING

Using business intelligence and data to target your storytelling to the correct audiences in a world of noise is vital to successful messaging campaigns.

 

PUBLIC

 

AFFAIRS

Our team helps with issue management by building bipartisan coalitions of citizens and organizations, conducting ballot initiatives and more to communicate with key decision makers from Lansing to Washington.  

CRISIS COMMS & REPUTATION MANAGEMENT

Facing a comms crisis requires a combo of speed and experience that Harbor's team gained in years of advising businesses and political leadership. Anticipating problems and building reputations in good times is a must. 

LAW &

COURTS

Harbor's experience with legal communications is unequaled after serving two state attorneys general in criminal and civil cases, and working to achieve justice for survivors of abuse in small & large cases.

CLIENTS COUNT ON US. FROM TC TO DC.
