Why Castro?

Effective communication drives organizations forward. Castro helps organizations clarify what they stand for, what they want to achieve, and who needs to take action to make that happen. We assess the current situation, work together to set a course, and translate that into clear, effective communication
that gets results.

Communication Strategy and Implementation

Effective communication starts with knowing what you want to achieve and who you need to get on board to make it happen. Castro assesses the landscape, works with you to set the course, and translates strategy into concrete communication.

Media Training and Spokesperson Services

A successful media appearance begins well before the first interview question is asked. Castro helps executives, management teams, and spokespersons refine their message and convey it clearly and convincingly, even under pressure.

Crisis Communication

Many crises strike unexpectedly and are undesirable, but they are not unpredictable. Castro helps organizations identify risks and scenarios in advance and stands by your side when things actually threaten to go wrong.

Media Monitoring and Analysis

Knowing what is being said is one thing. Understanding what it means and what to do about it is another. Castro combines monitoring with incisive analysis and concrete advice on how to proceed.

Interim

Frequently Asked Questions

Strategic communication is the targeted use of communication to achieve organizational goals. It helps organizations refine their narrative, position, and message and communicate effectively with the right target audiences and stakeholders.

A communication strategy is important when an organization wants to strengthen its positioning, is undergoing a change, or wants to gain more control over its communication with stakeholders. It provides direction, coherence, and consistent communication.

A strategic communications agency helps organizations develop a clear communications strategy and supports them in implementing it. This includes positioning, stakeholder communications, spokesperson services, media relations, and communications consulting.

A communication strategy sets the course: What do you want to achieve, who do you want to reach, and what message do you want to convey? A communication plan translates that strategy into specific actions, resources, and a schedule.

A strong core message is clear, credible, and relatable. It aligns with the organization’s goals as well as the information needs of stakeholders, ensuring that the message is better understood and remembered.

Policy communication is strategic communication that contributes to specific policy goals. While corporate communication focuses primarily on an organization’s overall positioning and reputation, policy communication revolves around building support and influencing the context in which political and policy decisions are made. We do this by bringing the right message to the attention of policymakers and other relevant stakeholders at the right time. At Castro, we combine our knowledge of politics and policy with expertise in strategic communication to achieve this. In this way, communication and lobbying reinforce each other, and we work purposefully toward concrete results.
