ABOUT HENNES COMMUNICATIONS
You have a situation. We have a strategy.
Hennes Communications is among the few firms in North America exclusively dedicated to crisis management and crisis communications. Since its founding in 1969, the firm has expanded internationally, assisting clients in reducing risk by effectively managing their communication strategies in response to reputation threats, crises, and other challenges that might impact their mission and ability to serve stakeholders. Its client base includes government bodies, both public and private entities, law firms, educational and healthcare organizations, and nonprofits facing scrutiny in the "Court of Public Opinion." The firm also provides additional services such as crisis and media training, crisis planning, and litigation communications. Unlike many public relations firms, Hennes Communications boasts a team of highly experienced senior-level consultants, all with extensive backgrounds in crisis communications and other critical fields. The team is adaptable, quick to respond, and efficient in grasping clients' issues to devise optimal communication strategies for various situations. On average, Hennes Communications serves 180 clients each year across sectors such as public and private corporations, law firms, professional services, government agencies, educational institutions (including K-12 and higher education), larger nonprofits, arts organizations, nursing homes, hospitals, physician practices, and professional associations. The firm is the preferred partner for the Arizona, Florida, Illinois, and Ohio School Boards Associations. Additionally, over 60% of its business comes from referrals by attorneys the firm engages with during the 40-60 Continuing Legal Education (CLE) sessions it conducts annually, where many recognize the significance of public opinion compared to legal outcomes.
