Our goal is to be the leading provider for customized strategic communications assessment, planning, training, and exercise services. We offer the highest level of customer service and deliver the most comprehensive and customer-specific strategic communication solutions and resources. Our subject-matter experts are current or former real-world practitioners. They are uniquely qualified to revise or offer new approaches to prepare communication strategies for pre-crises, crises, and post-crises for events such as manmade, natural, or technical disasters.

SummitET^® defines strategic communications as a convergence – or fusion – of the disciplines of risk and crisis communication, internal communications, reputation management, social and digital media, community education and relations and media relations. Strategic communication incorporates the “Who, What, When, Why, and How” into all categories of stakeholder communication, especially during risk and crisis communication events.

Organizations should periodically assess their communications holistically and create an integrated, multidisciplinary approach that furthers their organizational communication goals. In addition, organizations need well-planned strategies for risk and crisis communication, internal communication, digital and social media, community relations and education, and media relations practice. Well-planned communication strategies can minimize missed opportunities while increasing organizations’ abilities to reach their communication goals.
