Build Trust

Think of all your audiences—your employees, customers, community and elected officials. When was the last time they heard from you?

The last thing you want is to be reaching out to them for the first time during a crisis. Whether it be through sharing stories with the media, planning a community event or organizing a tour for your local representative, Goff Public can help you form relationships and build trust with your audiences before a crisis hits.
