A Philadelphia Public Relations Consultant
What I do.
Building Better Relationships Through Effective Communication
I help organizations to identify issues that affect their operations and reputations. I then assist in addressing those issues through effective communication. This includes research, planning, implementation and evaluation of professional communication programs.
The process starts and ends with listening, not speaking.
I work with senior executives to assess the condition of their organizations' relationships with critical internal and external audiences, by listening to those audiences with appropriate research techniques.
I use this information to plan what's needed to meet each group's expectations for the organization's performance as an employer, supplier, citizen and neighbor. I build unique communication programs to let each of these audiences know how the organization is performing in the public interest and to meet their expectations. Then I listen again to see how effectively the communication worked and how we can further shape the policies, actions and communication of the organization.
This is called effective communication. Effective communication builds better relationships.
“I think very highly of the work David Kirk had done when we worked on Penn-America projects. He were easy to work with, responsive, insightful and, perhaps most important, cost-effective. He did not go down blind alleys and waste time. He focused on practical issues and practical answers so we could move on to the next thing and create action plans and results.”
