Good advice formed through great experience.
Senior strategy and execution from an advisor trusted by members of Congress, global leaders and the CEOs of publicly-traded companies.
Often, when businesses and leaders engage a communications firm, they’re looking for strategic advice. Most firms assign a team that’s heavy with overhead and inexperience, and senior advisors tend to specialize in reaching one audience. As a result, the strategy can isolate customers, regulators, employees or investors.
Talisman is different. Every engagement is handled by a single advisor— one who has counseled members of Congress, advised CEOs, and worked with teams facing the highest levels of public scrutiny.
The work I do reflects these diverse experiences.
Services
Three disciplines. One firm. Talisman takes on a limited number of engagements each year — by design.
-
From candidate positioning to earned media strategy to narrative development. I can help you bring the discipline of professional political communications to campaigns at every level.
-
Positioning CEOs, founders, and senior officials as credible, recognizable voices in their field. Services include media training, speechwriting and delivery coaching, op-eds, long-form narrative strategy, and proactive, earned media placement.
-
Companies and their leaders face new levels of public expectations and scrutiny when they raise funds or go public. The C-Suite needs a press strategy that engages institutional and retail investors, regulators, employees and consumers. Talisman handles spokesperson preparation around IPOs, mergers, SPAC transactions, fundraising and other high-stakes financial moments. This work is built on direct experience managing public listings and executive communications for the CEOs of publicly traded companies in industries spanning deep tech, life sciences and consumer goods.
