For years we've worked across the nation to redefine public relations with a digital first philosophy. If you're an organization or brand with a reputation that could use help, or if legislative or regulatory threats are on the horizon - this is for you.
The Most Powerful Force in Politics - an Educated Citizenry
At CTA, our reputation in the digital communications field was built on one key principle – the power of an informed citizenry.
Since our inception, we've partnered with a diverse range of clients, tackling projects of every scale and nature. Our mission is to support legislation that benefits both businesses and the public while staunchly opposing policies that favor special interests, overstep boundaries, or impose excessive taxation.
Our client portfolio spans businesses of all sizes, national and state trade associations, and issue advocacy groups. Whether you need a comprehensive campaign or seamless integration with your existing team, we've got you covered.
We thrive on the challenge of educating the public on complex issues, but our true magic lies in harnessing public opinion to drive the policy debate. Simply put, when it comes to this craft, there's no one better.
While South Carolina is our home base, we've extended our reach to statehouses across the nation, from Raleigh and Atlanta to Sacramento. Thanks to our extensive experience, we can seamlessly integrate with your local team, taking their lead and executing a digital campaign as if we were on-site.
Our latest case studies are in the final stages, but if you've read this far, why not schedule a meeting to delve into the specifics? We don't charge for these sessions because we're committed to showcasing the incredible potential of digital advocacy.

Now is the time to be protecting your brand and your customers
In the early 20th century, Winston Churchill proclaimed that a lie would travel halfway around the world before the truth could even put on its pants in the morning. If that was the case back then, imagine the challenge today.
The only way to stay ahead is to start now - before the lies. Your reputation is on the line. What's it truly worth to you?
Brand reputation often ends up as the neglected part of a business communication strategy. Yet, time and again, businesses find themselves in our office dealing with full-blown crises. It's a costly oversight to dismiss its importance. Hoping for the best isn't a strategy.
At CTA, we're here to change that. The risks to shareholder value, customer loyalty, talent attraction, and more are simply too significant to ignore. YOU define your brand, or someone else will do it for you. Don't leave it to chance.
Let's craft a 360-degree plan for your brand reputation that not only shields you from attacks but also fortifies your relationship with customers. It can even become a sales funnel without the need for extensive marketing efforts.
If you've found your way here, you recognize the importance. We've made it effortless, and it won't cost you a thing. We want to get to know you and, in return, provide you with a strategy that's crystal clear.
Our promise is that it will be effective and align with your bottom line.
Now is the time to take action. Get in touch and let's talk specifics.
Don't Panic! Remember the first rule of holes...
Stop digging!
When your business is in the midst of a crisis, it's not the ideal time to start thinking about crisis management.
The best time? Right now.
Before the ominous shadow of an emergency even approaches your doorstep, proactive brand reputation work should be in progress. It's this work that shields you from the most severe attacks and provides the breathing room you need to navigate a crisis effectively. A well-defined plan should also be in place—one that everyone in your organization has agreed to follow. In the midst of a crisis, your involvement might cloud your judgment.
It's akin to the rule of holes—your instincts could lead to digging yourself deeper.
If you haven't made that preemptive call to our team and find yourself in a crisis, fear not. We can still be of assistance. Every crisis is unique, but we've encountered a multitude of them.
Sometimes, it's not as straightforward as throwing a ladder down into the hole. More often than not, you need someone who's been down that hole before, and
who knows the way out.
From inception to resolution, our seasoned team will work alongside you, crafting a real-time, customized plan to mitigate the crisis, shift public opinion, and, if possible, transform disaster into opportunity. When the pressure is on, that's when we excel.
Our comprehensive services encompass everything from honing the right message to providing media training and managing press interactions. We monitor social media channels and employ targeted advertising to engage crucial audiences through digital platforms. With us by your side, you'll always have the support you need.
