Services

Strategic communications planning: It all starts with an integrated plan that articulates key messages, identifies target audiences and lays out creative actions. LFA PR gets in on the ground floor to develop a comprehensive plan of action, from employee messaging to media to marketing to events to grassroots community outreach.

Media outreach: Whether it's broadcast, print, blogs or ethnic/community press, LFA PR specializes in using media to talk to all the right audiences.

Social networking: Building from personal and professional expertise, LFA PR can create (or expand) a social media presence that helps start conversations, builds relationships and doesn't waste time, energy or money.

Community outreach: Sometimes the biggest impact comes from cultivating relationships and spreading the word at the grassroots level. LFA PR can develop a thoughtful and effective strategy.

Communications and media training: LFA PR can customize training to get everyone singing from the same song sheet, from employees to board members to senior leadership. And, we make camera-ready even the most reluctant spokesperson to ensure that your message gets delivered.

Marketing materials: LFA PR makes those 'key messages' real by creating brochures, web content, fact sheets and other materials that your audiences will actually read and use.

Event planning/management: Big or small, successful events require careful planning, creative ideas and excellent execution, all of which LFA PR provides.
