THE UPTOWN CSG TEAM HELPS CLIENTS WITH:
Executive Communications – Who better to draft your speech than someone who has written a national address for a U.S. President before a Joint Session of Congress?
Who better to write and help place your op-ed than someone whose writings appear in the nation’s top publications?
We help CEOs, C-Suite executives and non-profit leaders craft, sharpen and deliver their messages from the World Economic Forum in Davos, to the Detroit Economic Club, to the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco, to the opinion sections of the world’s leading publications and websites. No less important, we help you inspire the people within your organization who will determine the success of your enterprise.
The “Afterlife” of a Speech: A message only begins with the written word … Corporate leaders will work hard to develop a new message, to position the company as a pioneer. But the journey ends and much effort is wasted if the message is not distributed, amplified and adjusted for global audiences.
Uptown CSG can help you reach the right audience with tools as big as a major event on broadcast TV, as deep as a documentary on YouTube or as concise as a tweet.
Advocacy Plans: We develop a centerpiece message, and work outward to identify the appropriate vehicles for that message with –
Communications for Litigation Support: One class-action lawsuit can put a company’s reputation and very existence on the line. What happens in the court of public opinion can be critical to a successful appeal. We encourage scholars to make the case in prestigious legal journals, develop distinguished jurists as spokesmen for broadcast media, and place pieces in the nation’s most widely read news outlets and business journals.
Regulatory Arbitrage: Virtually every company has had to cope with expensive, even irrational, regulations. Uptown CSG is expert in developing allies in policy circles to define the hidden costs of regulation to society, and to make sure these costs are clear to consumers and elected officials alike.
Crisis Communications: We support your team as they face a crisis, just as we have done for U.S. presidents and governors in times of war and public emergency. We stay with you during the crucial moments that follow a crisis, when the context must be set to defend against unwarranted legal action or overreaching regulation.
In each of these practice areas we work closely with the gatekeepers, whether communications directors or general counsels, to make sure that our work is coordinated for maximum effectiveness.

THIRD-PARTY OUTREACH
You have allies you do not even know … like-minded people in think tanks, universities and media. What is needed is someone with a deep background in policy and business who can link your concern to the greater, public issues of the day … someone who can recruit articulate voices to advance your cause.
Networking People and Ideas
There is a lot to untangle when business and policy intersect (or more often than not, collide). It can help to have a frank and informal discussion with opinion-leaders at seminars, meetings and dinners. Uptown CSG can set up events that bring together academic stars, commentators and executives to share views and find common ground.
