At williams group / pr / LLC, we listen, we counsel, we guide - and we produce success.

  • Public Relations Planning - we work closely with you and your team to identify strengths and weaknesses, areas of threat and opportunity, and then work to create a strategic PR plan to achieve your goals. We research, plan, communicate and evaluate to ensure the campaign meets its goals - and that you meet yours.

  • Media Relations - We help you build a better relationship with your audience through the media. That improved relationship can be measured in increased sales, more foot traffic, greater donations, expanded community dialogue or voter support, among others. Through comprehensive media campaigns that can include news releases, opinion columns, TV interviews and web support, we help you gain news coverage and public awareness.

  • Bond Referendum Campaigns - There is an art and a science to passing bond referenda. We have helped pass more than $326 million in facilities improvement bond programs. While each community is different, our strategy, our tactics and our philosophy is universal. Let us help you help your community be the best it can be - now and into the future. Williams earned the Golden Achievement Award in 2008 from the National School Public Relations Association for his successful $162.7 million bond campaign in Beaufort County, SC.

  • Marketing and Writing - We excel at words. We help you identify the best method to share your message - a brochure? newspaper ad? online ad? article for the paper? a corporate backgrounder for local, regional or national publications? Then we work to help you share your key message most clearly and persuasively. As needed, we tap talented graphic designers to give your message the "wow!" factor to make it pop from the crowd. In this way, we help you strategically target your marketing and PR to maximize bottom line impact.

  • Crisis Communications - Once you are in a crisis, it's too late to start planning your way out. In the public sector, Williams knew that every day he was likely to be in a crisis situation, exiting a crisis with all the needed follow-up, or about to enter a crisis. Proper advance planning can help you and your organization avoid long-lasting damage when a problem arises.

  • Branding & Logo Development - When the typical consumer is bombarded by more than 10,000 images and messages each day, it is absolutely critical that your first impression be strong enough to hook them. That's where branding comes into play. We take a coordinated approach with your team to integrate all aspects of your organization into one cohesive message that becomes your brand. A key aspect of this effort is the graphic imaging, and our virtual team excels here.

  • Web work - williams group / pr can assess your current website for effectiveness and recommend changes, or we can help you build a website from the ground up. Your website should support your brand, be visually enticing, and clearly communicate your key messages. We can help you find success in this exciting and essential area.

  • Community Relations & Special Events - We help you build and grow beneficial relationships with your community through partnerships, sponsorships, issue involvement, targeted investments and PR planning. Special events, properly organized, promoted and executed, draw interest and attention to your issues, be it increasing sales, raising money, celebrating achievements or raising awareness.
