Diversity, Bias & Discrimination

We empower leaders to manage these high-stakes situations by communicating in ways that heal and strengthen their organizations and communities.  

These incidents are on the rise, and no place is immune. Frequently, traditional and social media quickly escalate otherwise local incidents into national headlines. August recognizes that each situation requires a customized communications response that considers the broader social context. Leaders must respond swiftly and appropriately while anticipating the reactions of key stakeholders and meaningfully engage with them on often challenging and sensitive issues. They also must understand the language, ideology, and politics of their constituents because in these emotionally-charged scenarios, messaging fails without empathy. 

August’s professionals are experts at quickly employing the principles of effective strategic communications in these situations. We partner with our clients to deliver communications strategies that help ensure that leaders manage crises, bridge divisions, minimize negative media attention, preserve trust and confidence in leadership, and protect and enhance reputation and brand. 

We bring a unique blend of subject matter knowledge and political acumen. Based on an assessment of all key relevant economic, political, and legal concerns, August helps craft the best possible messages and guides leaders to deliver with authenticity, appropriate tone, and awareness of audiences.
