At Hawthorn Advisors we provide effective communications and reputation management advice to support our client’s commercial priorities. We work directly with CEOs or leadership teams to develop and deliver their story with precision. Often this occurs during times of corporate change and transition; for example when they are seeking to scale up or restructure a business, launch new services, sell their message to a global investor audience or react to unexpected changes that require sensitive management. Our ethos from the start was to to provide clients with advice from fresh perspectives, from individuals who have first hand experience in careers outside of PR. We have built a team that consists of successful entrepreneurs, ex corporate CEOs, diplomats, journalists and analysts, all of whom bring their own unique expertise and perspectives to any given situation.The traditional methods of communications are still central to our offering – media relations, digital, events, research, content development and more. But where we are different is the advice and discreet access that we are able to provide for our clients through high-level introductions that draw on our diverse set of backgrounds and collective networks.
