The Dezenhall Difference.
Dezenhall Resources, Ltd. is one of the most trusted public affairs and crisis management firms and first practitioners of the crisis management discipline. For decades, we have guided countless businesses, trade groups, law firms, and nonprofits through issues big and small, all of which threatened to damage the organization’s reputation and ability to do business. And in doing so, we’ve earned a reputation for meeting marketplace challenges and crises head-on while securing winning outcomes for our clients.
What We Do.
We specialize in crisis management, public affairs, and litigation communication. With nearly four decades of experience, we deliver strategic counsel, innovative approaches, and aggressive reputation defense. Our goal is simple: to shield you from distractions and safeguard your reputation. Let’s get you back to business.
Marketplace Defense
Our Unique Approach.
Marketplace defense is a strategic operational and communications approach that allows an organization to protect its market share by pre-empting and rebutting third-party attacks that threaten its reputation, freedom to operate, or bottom line. Whether preparing for a crisis or amid a marketplace assault, you can trust us to start each engagement working alongside your team to both establish realistic objectives, and to develop a precise landscape analysis that identifies the antagonists and factors in the political and cultural windmills that are at our backs and in our faces. Unlike many in this discipline, we tailor a plan to win, which frequently involves creating political risks for your opponents and attackers.
Traditional tactics in today’s public affairs, government relations, and media environment are often insufficient, primarily because they mistake conflicts–fundamental disagreements and agendas–with communication problems and misunderstandings. That’s where we come in.
