Where Communication Gets Organized.
Orkney Communications is a communications consultancy specializing in political and organizational communications.
We work with organizations, campaigns, public figures, and teams to understand how they communicate, where communication is breaking down, and how it can be improved. From major organizational changes and public announcements to internal restructuring, political messaging, media relations, and reputational risk, we provide strategic advice designed around the people, systems, and audiences involved.
Our consulting services include:
Communications Strategy & Consulting — assessing existing communications, identifying weaknesses, developing strategies, and providing practical recommendations for stronger internal and external communication.
Political Communications — strategic messaging, campaign communications, public statements, speeches, media preparation, issue management, and communications planning.
Organizational & Change Communications — helping organizations communicate internal and external changes clearly, including restructuring, new policies, leadership changes, operational changes, and major announcements.
Stakeholder Identification & Engagement — identifying the people, groups, organizations, media, employees, decision-makers, and communities affected by an issue and developing appropriate ways to communicate with them.
Crisis & Issues Management — preparing for and responding to emerging issues, controversies, reputational threats, and rapidly changing situations.
Messaging & Reputation Management — reviewing messaging, imagery, symbols, slogans, and communications for unintended meanings, potentially offensive interpretations, inconsistencies, or reputational risks before they become public problems.
Media Relations — media strategy, press releases, statements, interview preparation, talking points, journalist outreach, and media response.
Internal Communications — improving how information moves through an organization, reducing confusion, clarifying responsibilities, and helping teams communicate more effectively.
Communications Systems & Workflow Review — identifying weaknesses in communication platforms, approval processes, information sharing, and internal systems, then recommending more effective ways to organize them.
At its core, Orkney Communications provides an outside perspective on how your organization communicates. We identify what is working, what is not, where risks may exist, and what can be done to communicate more clearly, consistently, and effectively.
