Crisis
​Management

When trouble hits, you don't have time to to learn how to manage a crisis- that's why you call people like us. And not every crisis is because of bad news.

ESports
​Enterprises

How do you take advantage of "the next big thing?" Now a billion dollar industry, everyone seems to be talking about esports.  The industry is booming but its audiences are fickle.  They demand authenticity and are wary of the over-commercialization of their communities.  Two years working directly in the industry combined with 28 years of traditional business experience gives us a unique perspective. We can help  navigate sponsorship opportunities, events or even team ownership.
