Public Relations

Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of.

Socrates, 470-399 BC

ATHOS understands the complex interactions between business, media, and politics that shape the national conversation. Our principals have designed and directed high-profile messaging campaigns for private-sector entities, non-profit organizations, and U.S. federal government agencies. We have been behind many notable speeches, op-eds, books, events, and media appearances.

Uniquely, ATHOS draws upon interdisciplinary knowledge in addition to extensive experience in Washington, DC to achieve client objectives. It is our belief that there are simply no substitutes for long-standing relationships, personalized outreach, and a command of the key issues. Those elements are central to mobilizing influential individuals and institutions and, ultimately, driving the narrative.

ATHOS campaigns involve:

  • Earned national-media booking and engagement
  • Influencer mobilization and coalition building
  • Communications audits
  • Messaging roadmaps
  • Op-eds, speeches, and corporate documents
