385 Consulting Inc

385 Consulting Inc, based in Calgary, Canada, was founded in 2013 to help organizations navigate complex and often contentious external environments. The firm specializes in the intersection of public relations, government relations, and strategic communications, with a particular focus on issues management and crisis communications. Rather than offering a broad menu of generic PR services, 385 Consulting Inc concentrates on high-stakes situations where an organization's reputation, regulatory standing, or internal cohesion is under threat.

Specialist Expertise in Government Relations and Issues Management

The core of 385 Consulting Inc's offering lies in its ability to anticipate, prepare for, and respond to challenging external dynamics. The agency's work in government relations goes beyond simple lobbying; it involves scenario planning and integrated communications strategies that align an organization's public messaging with its regulatory and policy objectives. This is particularly valuable for clients operating in heavily regulated sectors or those facing public scrutiny. The firm's approach to issues management is proactive, helping clients identify potential risks early and develop communication frameworks that can adapt as situations evolve. This is complemented by crisis communications services, where 385 Consulting Inc provides rapid-response support to protect reputation and maintain stakeholder trust during urgent events.

Integrated Communications and Media Training

Beyond high-pressure scenarios, 385 Consulting Inc offers a suite of services designed to strengthen an organization's overall communications capacity. Media relations and media training are key components, helping clients and their spokespeople deliver clear, consistent messages across traditional and digital channels. The firm also provides presentation and speech training, coaching executives and leaders to communicate effectively in public forums, boardrooms, and internal meetings. Internal communications and culture change work is another area of focus, recognizing that an organization's external reputation often starts with how it communicates internally. Through advising and mentorship, 385 Consulting Inc works alongside client teams to build long-term capabilities rather than simply delivering one-off campaigns.
