The Practice
Three disciplines, one coordinated engagement.
Each practice runs in concert with the other two — strategy sets the narrative, communications speaks it, PR earns the room.
Public Relations
Earned-media strategy, press release development, media-relations outreach, and crisis communications — measured in placements, share of voice, and coverage quality.
Learn moreCommunications
Internal and external messaging, executive ghostwriting, talking points, and stakeholder communications that translate positioning into language every audience understands.
Learn moreBrand Strategy
Positioning, narrative architecture, and identity refinement — long-form strategy work that establishes how a brand is seen before any pitch goes out the door.
Learn moreThe Approach
A small senior team, measured the way strategy is measured.
Burkett & Associates runs lean on purpose. Every engagement is staffed with senior practitioners who carry the work through, not junior coordinators handing artifacts between silos. That shape lets the firm operate as a single integrated system: strategy, message, and outreach land with one voice.
The firm favors a systems-oriented, performance-driven model over the traditional media-only playbook. Coverage is a means, not an outcome; the work is judged against brand lift, message adoption, and the client’s own growth metrics.
In one line
The brand seen, the message heard, the growth tracked.
Who Fits
Three kinds of client.
The boutique shape works hardest for leaders who want PR, communications, and brand strategy stitched together rather than purchased separately.
Small Business
Founders and operators who have outgrown their first PR hit and need a coordinated strategy across launches, partnerships, and visibility.
Corporations
Leaders and communications teams who want a senior partner for narrative work, executive voice, and integrated brand movement.
Entertainment
Artists, labels, and entertainment clients whose brand and message are inseparable from the work itself and need to ship as one.
Questions
Before the call.
Every new client gets a discovery conversation and a short positioning brief before any proposal is drafted. The firm does not start work on homework that turns out to be the wrong brief; the first deliverable is confirming the brief is right.
