Products and Services
Public Affairs
PACS (MJCOM) Strategic Communications Associates can help you better understand public policy issues, analyze the political and business landscape and devise winning political and communications strategies.
The lines between the public and private sector have grown increasingly more complex, interdependent and intertwined and, as a result, public opinion and public support have emerged as the key drivers for public policy. Organizations compete not only in the business market, but also in the marketplace of ideas. Political initiatives can create business opportunities - or destroy them. Understanding changing political trends and having a strong voice in those decisions are key survival skills in today's environment.
That's where we excel.
Access alone will not affect policy. Our strategy focuses on shaping public policy by influencing public opinion; by reaching the constituents of a Member of Parliament or Legislature or consumers who care about a regulatory issue through effective communication programs.
Our Services Include:
Strategic Communications Planning
 Asset Evaluation - evaluating the public affairs landscape before implementing a government relations strategy.
Materials Development - developing compelling messages directed at targeted audiences, producing and packaging strong, effective communications materials

Issues Monitoring - serving as a client's eyes and ears on issues in relevant media and policy-making circles

Media Relations
An organization's relationship with the media can be one of the most powerful tools for success. PACS's media relations professionals are experts at putting this power to work. Our professionals craft compelling messages that are the framework of strategic plans. We understand that media relations is an integrated part of overall strategic communications plans, not an afterthought. We help hone persuasive language and project ideas in ways that will capture the imagination and interest of target audiences through the appropriate media channels.
With a focus on positive media relations, our media/crisis management course identifies strategies, opportunities and messages that build trust and positively manage reputations in the media.
