Bingham ConsultingCommunications and Crisis Counseling
The external and internal pressures caused by a crisis necessitate the development and effective use of a clear, concise and coordinated message that will best position your company. Bingham Consulting partners with clients to help them manage their communications strategies, providing corporate reputational management as well as crisis counseling. Our team includes former senior-level public officials who have been on the other side and can help clients anticipate how regulators are going to respond as well as career communications professionals, including a former assistant press secretary in the White House and press secretary for the Governor of California.
Whether facing a single or multistate investigation, parallel state and federal investigations, regulatory actions or legislative activities, we can help you develop and execute that message and keep your group focused. By way of example, we have provided communications counseling and short- and long-term communications strategy development and execution to several energy industry companies. This experience included helping a major international energy company assess the likelihood and potential impact of the proposed implementation of regulatory and legislative changes in California. Our experience also includes helping a major global technology company develop and execute a coordinated communications strategy for dealing with multiple parallel and separate investigations at the state and federal levels and telling the company’s story. On behalf of an international food manufacturing company, we worked to negotiate the simultaneous settlement of a multistate Attorney General investigation and a parallel Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigation, thereby minimizing the client’s exposure in the press and the impact of the settlement on its business operations.
