About Michael Walsh Communications
I am an award-winning public relations and marketing consultant with 25 years of experience, specializing in working with RIAs and independent wealth managers. I have a deep understanding of the industry and utilize my decades of marketing and communications leadership experience to help my clients stand out among a crowded field.
With experience comes wisdom, and what I have learned is this: good storytelling is still critical, quality writing stands out, carefully targeted messages can and do break through the noise, and organizations that are smart and diligent in leveraging every communications channel available to them are the ones that will win.
That is the perspective and commitment I bring to my clients. In my career, I’ve worked with organizations of all sizes, from Fortune 500 companies to high-growth start ups. That breadth of experience - along with a deep sense of curiosity, a singular focus on producing meaningful results, and a drive to always take the big picture into account - is what sets my services apart.
The following are the specific areas of expertise I can provide your business:
Overall communications strategy and brand positioning – It all starts with a clear and ambitious plan. I know how to develop an overarching strategy that delivers business results.
Public relations / media relations – I’ve been a journalist and have worked with them for decades. Having managing thousands of media interviews, I have a keen understanding of what gets their attention and what drives them mad.
Social media strategy and content development – In the social media game, those who win are the ones who understand the nuances of the various channels and the best practices for success. I can help you break through the noise and reach the audiences that matter to you.
Thought leadership strategy and content development – With hundreds of articles under my belt, I’m experienced at developing compelling content that positions my clients as the thought leaders they are.
Crisis communications – I’ve seen it all. I can provide a cool and calm communications perspective in times of crisis that takes into account all stakeholders and eventualities.
Media training – I’ve managed hundreds of print, online and broadcast media interviews in my career. I know what the media wants and how to avoid the pitfalls. I can teach you that.
Writing and editing – More than anything else, I take pride in my writing, including thought leadership articles, press releases, email campaigns, social media content, consumer and trade media articles, op-eds and speeches.
