Expansive Industry Expertise
Tunheim Partners staff members understand the latest thinking, direction and nuance in a wide range of industries. In retailing and consumer products, we've developed leading edge programs to drive traffic, sales and brand awareness. In the world of public policy development, we've shown how coalition-building and grasstops communication can shape the public dialogue. In corporate organizational life, we've proven the extraordinary value of orchestrating communications to ensure all stakeholders are brought along in a company's success - or in the management of its crises.

Across a variety of industries, we've helped clients obtain the business or organizational results they seek, no matter what their communications challenges or opportunities:


RETAILERS

A signature strength of the agency is our considerable experience in the retail category. We foster partnerships with clients who are strategic about their retail brand image and create programs that build, strengthen, revitalize and protect brands in the marketplace. Our thinking pushes the boundaries of traditional public relations to drive consumers to purchase and build visibility with all constituencies. We understand how merchandising, operations, retail trends and strategic issues drive sales and profits. It is our promise to deliver aggressive campaigns for retailers who strive for market dominance.




CONSUMER PRODUCT COMPANIES

Drawing on our expertise in brand building and product positioning, we provide consumer products companies with strategies to expand their reach and exposure. We execute aggressive media campaigns that penetrate targeted market segments. We use a creative approach to help companies grow new, expanded markets for their products, leveraging publicity in the broadest sense. We know how to use third-party credibility to realize market share and consumer preference.




MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS

We leverage on our experience in corporate relations, financial communications, issues management and crisis communications to serve the needs of publicly held companies. We have experience serving companies ranging from large multinational corporations to smaller public companies experiencing strong growth. Our services for public companies include: counsel on earnings and other disclosure events; acquisition support; shareholder communication; executive communications support; and strategic counsel in difficult situations such as major litigation, restructurings and leadership change.




NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS

With budgets tight and staff stretched, the ability to affect change through strategic communications can seem a luxury for many nonprofit organizations. Yet with increasing pressure being placed upon nonprofits to deliver more and more vital services, the need to clearly communicate to constituents, employees and the public has never been greater. We help nonprofits get their messages heard in imaginative and cost-effective ways.




CONSULTING SERVICES

Promoting businesses whose products are often intangible is never as easy as it sounds, especially when operating within a partnership or consensus-based environment. We know which strategies work and how to capitalize on unique opportunities. We also understand the importance of positioning professionals - including engineers, lawyers, physicians, accountants and architects - in ways and places that serve your business.




SPORTS, ENTERTAINMENT AND HOSPITALITY

Competition for the entertainment dollar has never been so fierce. Tunheim Partners has a proven track record of helping sports, entertainment and hospitality clients create strategies designed to expand market share for their products - whether it's a sports team, an individual athlete, a new sports facility or a new hotel. We deploy customized programs that encompass sponsorships, endorsements, merchandising and brand marketing to achieve top-line results. It's the mix of understanding the industry and targeting the right marketing communications approach that sets us apart.




HIGHER EDUCATION

Our extensive education experience has helped shape an understanding of what's necessary to achieve success for institutions of higher learning. Working with college boards, administrators, alumni, faculty and students, we build consensus, design integrated programs and guide priorities. Our intimate knowledge of the academic environment is what differentiates us. The landscape has changed - competition from alternative institutions and budget constraints are having an impact on how many colleges and universities are addressing their brand positioning and market viability. We combine proven strategies and innovative ideas to help learning institutions send a clear, compelling message to key audiences.




HEALTH CARE

We create comprehensive communications programs for clients in the health care industry where proper positioning and managed media relations efforts are critical. We use focused public affairs strategies to proactively address regulatory matters, influence state and national government relations and manage legislative issues that directly affect business operations.




FINANCIAL SERVICES

We help publicly held companies communicate with one of their most important stakeholder audiences: the investment community. We have the expertise to design media relations and analyst relations programs to stimulate interest and build momentum. We also provide sound counsel on disclosure issues, corporate restructurings, and mergers and acquisitions. Our expertise includes shareholder communications; analyst and investor presentations; annual reports; annual shareholder meetings; IPO communications; mergers, acquisitions and divestitures; and corporate restructurings.




TECHNOLOGY

Communicating in the dynamic technology environment requires innovative ideas and nimble response to opportunities. Amid the magnitude of wide-ranging developments, clear messages are needed to break through the din and grab the attention of media, customers, investors and employee prospects. We have created effective public relations campaigns for a variety of technology-driven clients in the areas of CRM and customer intelligence software; web hosting and design; ASPs, data storage, ISPs and business process outsourcing; B2B exchanges, data integration and transaction support software; and business intelligence, ERP and data warehousing. This experience provides us with a solid base of national media contacts - print, broadcast and online - that outshines our competition.




ENERGY

The energy segment is broad and complex. Working with public utilities, co-ops and private entities, we have firsthand knowledge of this industry and its relevance in the marketplace. Our public relations programs focus on customer satisfaction, issues management and employee satisfaction.







Vision. Innovation. Integrity. Talent. Results.
