Strategic Planning
On the strength of years of experience at the highest levels of business, government and journalism, Howell quickly learns our clients’ objectives, digs deep into the subject matter – and then develops a strategy that is high level, nuanced and actionable.
Messaging
Taking into account both our clients’ internal considerations and the external environment in which their communications will be received, we distill messaging that cuts through the communications clutter and resonates with the target audience.

Founded by a former journalist and imbued with the belief that content is king, Howell Communications creates compelling content for the appropriate medium.
Media Relations
The “traditional” media continue to drive most content. Our team of seasoned professionals draws on trusted relationships, and decades of experience both in and with the media, to shape coverage that advances our clients’ objectives.
Crisis Communications
A fierce advocate for our clients, we have successfully managed high-profile, high-stakes crises for prominent public figures and organizations. Understanding how a crisis rivets public attention like nothing else, we also know how to turn crisis into opportunity.
Executive Communications
Organizations are perceived through, and judged by, the actions of their leaders. Howell helps executives succeed in today’s communications environment with services such as speechwriting, the drafting of opinion pieces, the creation and management of a social media presence, and communications training.

Leadership in their industry and on social issues is both a differentiator and a reflection of their values – and therefore important to their image and reputation. Howell develops and executes thought leadership campaigns that position our clients as leaders in any realm.
Digital Media
Understanding where a client’s audience spends time online – and knowing how to connect with them on those platforms – is a vital component of any communications effort in today’s environment. Howell combines expertise in the full range of social media tools with strategic experience and wisdom, allowing us to incorporate social media into a comprehensive public relations program.

Communications Training
