Hare Communications Available

Hare Communications approaches public relations with an emphasis on rigorous intake diagnostic sessions, clarifying realistic media interest before contracts are signed. Operating from Glen View Road in Birmingham, the consultancy evaluates prospective campaigns through an initial message audit rather than inflated publicity promises. Early evaluations examine current news cycles, audience relevance, and the factual strength of an organization's proposed announcement. If an internal initiative lacks genuine newsworthiness, the firm articulates those narrative limitations candidly and suggests internal timing adjustments or alternative communication channels instead of pitching an unreceptive press corps.

The firm's core operational workload spans crisis communications, targeted trade media pitching, executive positioning, and local community engagement campaigns. Viability assessments dictate every phase of message development. Rather than distributing blanket press releases to wide distributions, the team conducts targeted stakeholder mapping to determine the precise journalists, civic leaders, or industry editors likely to engage. Structural limitations—such as tight non-disclosure constraints, unresolved regulatory filings, or unverified performance data—are systematically addressed prior to public distribution. Detailed project outlines establish explicit deliverables, defining expected draft intervals, media review periods, and measurable benchmarks such as editorial placements and interview bookings.

Project engagements follow a structured milestone timeline. Deliverables commence with background briefings and fact-sheet creation, advance to targeted pitching and scheduled press conferences, and conclude with media monitoring reports that catalog both reach and tonal impact. In reputation-management situations, the team establishes rapid-response protocols that prioritize verified facts over speculative statements, providing clients with cleared holding statements and trained spokesperson notes. For ongoing retainers, regular status reviews review current news cycles to pivot ongoing strategies without incurring unexpected scope creep or supplemental retainers.

New client onboarding requires an introductory intake window of seven to ten business days to complete initial briefing reviews and competitive research. Crisis communication requirements operate on an expedited protocol, though standard advisory retainers and project launches are scheduled at least two to four weeks in advance of desired publication dates. Prospective clients should prepare all source data, executive bios, organizational timelines, and any existing media collateral prior to the introductory consultation to ensure an accurate evaluation of project scope and timeline requirements.
