How we've helped teams like yours

Case studies from our clients

Collaboration at table

The regional business

A respected and historic family-owned business was under fire from activist websites and publications for the political contributions of the owner.

The owner had always maintained his personal viewpoints separate from the business but activists had dug into the donor list of a proposition they considered controversial and doxxed well-known donors. Because of a personal contribution, the business was at risk.

We created messaging and response plans that helped the owner and business make it through the crisis unscathed.

The urban megachurch

A megachurch that had served a major US city for a decade came under attack for their conservative social views.

Their recent purchase of an old church building in the arts district downtown ignited a negative press campaign from activist print and online publications.

We helped their communications team come with a crisis communications strategy and message that helped them navigate the situation with clarity, confidence, and enabled the move into the new building go better than they expected.

What we bring to the table

Nick and Kim Bogardus
Scope of experience

“In my 10+ years of working in communications, few of the people I’ve worked with have had Nick’s professionalism, insight, and analytical problem-solving skills.

In addition to serving as a consultant for several PR strategies, Nick worked with us to help us build a proactive plan to foster media relationships and to begin to tell our story.

Nick doesn’t just solve problems in a crisis, but he teaches you the skills you need to get ahead of the game and create solutions that are unique to your business.”

— Jessica J., Communications Director

Proactive & intentional

Nick combines a deep PR knowledge with an inquisitive and passionate drive to create proactive messaging that matters.

Nick is one of the easiest and most pleasurable people to work with. He is a great addition to any team.

— Mike A., Director of Marketing

Integrity & generosity

“In a business filled with a cutthroat, dog-eat-dog, heavily competitive atmosphere, Nick Bogardus was a shining light of integrity, politeness, hard work and honesty. That authenticity and character was reflecting in the great many successes he achieved together with his artists and colleagues.

Driven by something greater than the need for “more,” Nick’s passion for bettering the world around him was evident in each action and communication. I dealt with Nick both as a fellow artist manager, as someone from the press, and as a guest speaker at one of the college courses he taught. ”
