Our goal is to work with our clients in a value-added way that enhances your success. We want to help you develop and perfect the vision and messages you want to share with your audience. We like to do that in a relaxed, comfortable but completely professional working relationship.
Hal Doran Associates has experience in private, public, academic, non-profit, and volunteer sectors. We understand the specific communications needs of each, as well as the possible synergies that collaborations between each of these sectors can help develop.
We like working with a small group of clients at any one time, so that we can focus on the success of each. We prefer either short-term projects with clear goals and endpoints; or longer-term collaborative consultative relationships that requires regular sustainment for success, and which are achieved within well-defined parameters and time commitments.
We provide communications consulting services in public affairs, multimedia, podcasting, web, and social media. We specialize in small, focused, time-limited projects. From brainstorming sessions to detailed strategy development, we can assist you in achieving your goals by providing experienced viewpoints and concise analysis to help you develop clear objectives for effective products.
We also have extensive experience in writing and editing multimedia scripts, social media and web content, media articles, and executive-level speeches. We can provide audience-focused advice for effective messaging results in all these areas.
One-on-one personalized coaching to build on your strengths and maximize confidence for presentations, committee appearances, media interviews, and speeches.
