Launched by Chris Ourand after his tenure as a journalist and then a communications executive in consulting, corporate, and non-profit environments, Chris O. Communications takes a two-fold approach toward business communications. First, we understand the issues and dynamics of your industry, then we map a communications strategy to organizational goals. This includes refining your positioning, crafting succinct messages, generating news, and conducting media and influencer outreach that meets agreed-upon expectations.

While our strategies often include social media because of the medium’s popularity, equally or more important is the value of traditional media due to fact checking and other time-honored journalistic processes.  That’s why with Chris O. Communications, you are assured of appropriate counsel. If your challenge is visibility, we have the track record to get you on the front page and in the right blogs. We do this by creating a news strategy that promotes the positive benefits that you deliver through your knowledge and opinions, customer case studies, contributed articles, and Web-searchable news releases.  If your need is a broader branding effort, we are the marketing resource that can create a favorable, trustworthy impression in the minds of your audience.

We aim to stay small, so we don’t eat up billable hours with unnecessary administration. Instead, we ensure that you benefit from our experience in creating and managing targeted programs that raise awareness and establish credibility – just what you need to support sales, partnership, financing, and other goals.
