Break through.
Talisman helps leaders shape and communicate on the issues
that affect their businesses.
Talisman (n.)
alternate definition A leader who ties everything together and brings good fortune or good luck. The person the team looks to in challenging moments when everything is on the line.
Strategic advice and sound execution.
When businesses and leaders engage a communications firm, they’re looking for strategic advice and sound execution. Most firms assign a team that’s heavy with overhead, 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 who has counseled members of Congress, advised CEOs, and worked with teams facing the highest levels of public scrutiny.
Services
-
I have spent more than a decade working on congressional and presidential campaigns and for world leaders. Those experiences shape the advice I provide to CEOs and candidates. Services include the development of issue-based, brand-level narratives, and earned media strategies that drive the conversation and shape perception on the issues.
-
The public expects leaders to be ready to engage on the issues, and those issues are larger than the brand.
I work in tandem with in-house teams and large agency partners to support the CEO like a public official, positioning them as credible, recognizable voices in their field with a clear message. Services include media training, speechwriting, byline op-eds, long-form executive positioning, policy position research, and platform development. -
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 more than a dozen public listings and executive communications for the CEOs of publicly traded companies in industries spanning deep tech, life sciences and consumer goods.
