TVP Communications

As your media outreach partner, we will track current themes in higher education and identify opportunities to provide insight and advance your message, seeking to place expert citations and feature stories around your specific areas of expertise. We are also available as needed to provide your internal team with counsel on media outreach, talking point or press release development and briefings for major announcements, achievements, events and milestones.

Leadership doesn’t happen in a vacuum—boards, presidents and cabinet members are confronting a range of issues at any given moment. TVP Communications brings national perspective and actionable insight to our role as strategic partners. We help leaders see around corners, identify and address internal and external issues, and build confidence in the communications strategies and skills that are vital for success in today’s rapidly changing and highly scrutinized higher education environment.

Our success in developing effective thought leadership strategies comes from our hands-on approach to client relationships and our desire to understand the exact things that make each client different and special. We will work with you to develop a customized thought leadership strategy that focuses on defining your organization’s “areas of distinction” and also includes a strategy for how to promote those areas to your target audiences.

We love good news—who doesn’t? At TVP Communications, we’ve worked with institutions and organizations to plan and execute announcements and events for major gifts, leadership transitions, new programs, name changes and more.

We work with clients to understand the full story behind the announcement and then develop a messaging and communications strategy that identifies all relevant audiences and matches them with appropriate messaging and communication vehicles.

We love spending time with campus leadership, faculty members, rising administrators–anyone who wants to sharpen their communications skills and preparedness for the unexpected. We will build training sessions that fit your needs, from interview skills to media strategy, from op-ed workshops to on-camera practice interviews, from crisis communications essentials to tabletop exercises, from social media basics to messaging workshops.

TVP Communications is a trusted partner to proactively manage reputation with a goal of avoiding crisis situations, and a go-to resource for those facing crisis. Our approach is built on getting to know an institution, its strengths and vulnerabilities to provide relevant and timely counsel, strategy and communications assistance. Clients have relied on our deep higher education experience to navigate difficult situations. We provide senior-level counsel, internal and external messaging, and real-time assistance with monitoring traditional media and social media. All of our efforts are focused on increasing transparency and facilitating communications that are consistent across relevant audiences.
