Experience

Kimberly Public Affairs designs programs to achieve goals. Here are some of the successful programs designed by KPA staff.

• Media campaigns resulting in positive stories in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Houston Chronicle, USA Today, Forbes and Fortune magazines and a wide variety of trade press. Tactics have included news releases followed by interviews, pitches of story ideas to the media, taking a media outlet's request to the client and recommending action, a virtual news conference in New York with a satellite uplink and holding events featuring VIPs, which the media are invited to attend.
• Event planning, with events ranging from a groundbreaking ceremony in Asia featuring the country's prime minister, to a social celebration in Houston for 300 international guests featuring Cirque du Soleil. KPA staff has also planned numerous business functions for industry analysts and other key audiences.
• Community relations activities designed to gain respect for companies with key constituents. Activities have included stakeholder mapping to build consensus, human rights and environmental campaigns, and support of community funds and infrastructure.
• Crisis planning and preparedness for Fortune 500 companies. International crisis plans prepared by KPA staff were utilized for environmental and human rights crises in South America and Asia. KPA also has facilitated crisis exercises related to asset loss, environmental issues, employee injuries and fatalities and country evacuations of expatriate personnel.
  
• Issues campaigns to advocate our client's side of an issue, recruiting third party support for their position. Goals have ranged from facility sitings to ballot issues to winning public funds for a project.
