Public Relations Expertise

We’re responsive, strategic partners who are trusted extensions of your team. We plug in wherever you need us—media training, content creation, or brand reputation management. With decades-long client relationships, we bring deep expertise and flexibility that helps your brand keep trust.

Strategic Planning & Consultation 

Smart strategy, tailored to you and based by research. We help connect the dots between business goals, public perception, and PR tactics—so you’re not just making noise, you’re making headlines.

Media Relations & Media Training

We don’t just get your story out—we make sure it’s told well. With deep media connections, it’s easy for us to secure meaningful coverage and prep your executives or high-profile leaders for interviews and public appearances that spread the right message.

Advertising & Media Buying

We help you get the most value from your budget, using paid placements to boost your message where it matters most.

Internal Communications

We help leaders communicate clearly and confidently with employees, boards, and stakeholders—whether it’s drafting internal announcements, newsletters, or sensitive updates that need the right tone.

Compelling Content Creation  

From blogs and social media posts to op-eds and thought leadership pieces, we develop content that tells a good story, builds credibility, keeps your message consistent across channels, and resonates with audiences.

Crisis Management

We’re not your “call-us-when-it’s-on-fire” team. We build proactive crisis response plans, train your spokespeople, and stay on retainer so if something happens, we already know what to do and can jump into action immediately.

Brand Reputation Management 

We keep our ears to the ground and monitor what’s being said about your brand online. We’ll respond to social media comments and reviews in real time, so you stay ahead of the conversation—not behind it.

Results Tracking

We measure the impact of every PR campaign with detailed reporting on reach, advertising, and publicity value, so you can see exactly how PR is driving results for your bottom line.

Comprehensive PR Capabilities

We become your PR department. We tailor every strategy to your needs, adapt quickly, and build relationships that last forever.

  • Draft & distribute news releases, statements, media kits, & executive messaging

It takes a team effort to bring the community together to accomplish great things. But it also takes people with the right skills and experience to piece all the variables together. We found Lukas Partners to be the right fit for us and for our volunteers. They really maximized our efforts and demonstrated that they cared about this project as much as we do. They helped us build a solid campaign from the ground up and helped us overcome challenges along the way. I would have no reservation in recommending Lukas Partners to anyone considering a major fundraising effort. They consistently met and exceeded my expectations.
