We have worked with leading enterprises and institutions across all financial matters and led strategy and communications for some of the largest and most complex transactions today, including many of the most high-profile public listings in recent years.

A public listing is one of the most consequential moments in a company’s life. We advise on building public company-ready communications and IR functions, drive valuation through proactive communications, support regulatory filings, and execute listing days – having worked on some of the most prominent public offerings over the last ten years.

We have advised both acquirers and sellers in some of the world’s most complex and highly valued transactions in recent years, including significant cross-border deals.

We advise management and boards on preparations for potential activist issues, on governance and business performance issues, and on developing the messaging, infrastructure, and relationships that are urgently needed once a conversation with an activist turns into a public matter. We have helped some of the world’s best-known companies fight back – and win – when an activist investor has gone on the offensive against their business.

We work with management teams and creditors to protect enterprise value through corporate restructurings – situations that are uniquely complex from a communications perspective due to the diverse set of stakeholders inside and outside of the organization.

We have specific experience helping management teams and boards navigate today’s complex global regulatory environment — working frequently in key regulatory capitals around the world.  We have a special expertise on CFIUS transactions and other matters related to market entry.

Times of leadership transition are critical moments in the life of an organization. We’ve helped numerous management teams through leadership changes, carefully designing communications strategies and narratives to preserve and enhance organizational value.

We have deep experience working closely with legal teams to help our clients protect
themselves and achieve the best possible outcomes in today’s litigious environment.
We often are referred by leading law firms that have worked in partnership with
TrailRunner.

We provide comprehensive corporate communications strategy and execution support to some of the world’s biggest and most dynamic organizations, helping our clients reach their most critical external and internal audiences.

Today’s fragmented and dynamic media ecosystem requires that companies swiftly and efficiently engage with the voices that matter most. Our work and our experience have connected us with the most prominent journalists, media outlets, and conversations happening today. We help our clients reach the gatekeepers and opinion leaders who are shaping the narrative.

Given today’s instantaneous communications environment, any and every presentation, media interview, or influencer engagement is an important communications event. We have deep experience helping senior executives at leading companies improve their media skills, better tell their stories, and improve their overall presentation skills to various audiences.

We deliver broad communications support for many of our clients, including corporate narratives and messaging, reputation management, executive visibility, internal communications, and other communications needs that may arise.

Many organizations today have legacy communications functions that hinder effective reach with their most important audiences and stakeholders. While the communications function was once a cost center, today this function is central to the P&L, and an increasing number of organizations are facing communications challenges they never could have imagined. Our team has deep and extensive experience helping CCOs and their teams transform their communications functions to help drive value and deliver even better results for their businesses.

We specialize in shaping reputations for some of the world’s most significant companies, organizations, and CEOs. Our clients include Fortune 500 companies in highly regulated industries as well as disruptive and fast-growing startups introducing new technologies or business models that the public does not yet understand. We help international companies and organizations solidify their reputations in markets around the world, with offices and expertise across the U.S. and in the UAE (Abu Dhabi and Dubai), the UK (London), and China (Shanghai).

The only thing companies can count on for sure today is that the next crisis will come from an unpredictable place, and at an unpredictable hour. Lasting reputational damage can be done to brands that don’t plan for and execute effective crisis communications. We help companies get ahead of a potential crisis by working with them proactively to ensure that their crisis management protocols are in place and ready to go. And when a crisis does hit, we are there to provide 24-hour communications support, including providing on-site support if necessary.

We help some of the most complex organizations today navigate and influence public policy at both the federal and state levels. Our team keeps a close eye on legislative and regulatory activity, engages directly with policymakers, and advocates for outcomes that support our clients’ priorities. We also focus on building meaningful with key decision-makers and delivering timely insights so our clients can stay ahead of risks and opportunities.

We offer effective digital campaigns that reach the right audiences with the right messaging at the right time. We provide the full range of services including developing strategy, building campaigns, making content, and most importantly, executing effectively when the stakes are high. We offer technology enabled creative services that support clients’ communications and reputation goals. Our expertise also spans full-service website development.

We offer full-service advertising capabilities, including paid media planning and buying to tracking results and creating standout creative that engages audiences. We create custom research plans to help clients analyze priority issues, target the right audiences, and connect with them most effectively, and ensure decision-making is data driven. Our clients get clear insights into their audience’s beliefs and the best messages and medium with which to reach them, helping them figure out who’s open to their message and how to make an impact.
