Who We Are

THE FIRM

Since the 1980s, we’ve been behind the scenes, shaking up countless industries and guiding numerous organizations through challenges both big and small. With our unique, people-first approach to strategy and a powerful arsenal of data-driven tactics, Dezenhall is prepared to take on any challenge.

The Dezenhall difference.

We believe in discretion. Our clients face some of the most intense – and often unfair – controversies in their personal or corporate histories. We work to help our clients resolve issues before they become public controversies.

In an age when many consultants are part of publicly traded conglomerates, the pressure to perpetually upsell with flashy slide decks and irrelevant metrics is often more critical than the fiduciary obligations to deliver for their clients.

Dezenhall Resources takes precisely the opposite approach. Achieving our clients’ objectives drives everything we do. We are laser-focused on generating compelling deliverables that produce impactful results, not arbitrary numbers.

We hold the counselor-client relationship as a sacred trust; therefore, we do not disclose our client list, announce our new business wins, or publicly discuss client case histories without permission.

Marketplace defense.

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, 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. Then, we tailor a plan to win, which, unlike many in this discipline, frequently involves creating political risk for your opponents and attackers.

Traditional tactics in today’s public affairs, government relations, and media environments are often insufficient, primarily because they mistake conflicts–fundamental disagreements and agendas–with communication problems and misunderstandings. That’s where we come in.

“You can’t execute it if you can’t communicate it.”

– Paul Argenti

What We Do.

In nearly every industry, organizations big and small count on Dezenhall Resources when the stakes are at their highest. We combat operational and regulatory conflicts. We refute wrongful attacks. We neutralize motivated adversaries. We minimize risk. We defy agenda-driven assaults. We impact outcomes.
