That’s what we do for our Clients: train them to handle any situation, from talking to reporters with intrusive microphones to speaking to tens of thousands in arenas.

We’ve done this with hundreds of Clients at all levels, because, after all, if you’re going to stand to deliver, why not do it effectively, confidently and in a way that will make them listen. You deserve that.
We can take you there.

CRISIS

COMMUNICATIONS

When bad hits the fan and the media are clamoring for answers, the time to prepare is long over. For 35 years, Tim Brown has generated damage control strategies and messages that have led Clients through the maze when they saw their worst days.
He will tell you, “The key is to get in and get out of the news in one day, so let’s do this right.”
Because of that, front-end training helps Clients take pre-emptive action. In the heat of the battle, though, you’ll want a seasoned team of veterans who can astutely guide your executives to calm waters.

FABULOUS VIDEOS

We concept, script and direct educational, training and promotional videos for clients nationally and internationally. With decades of video directing under our belt, we can deliver to your highest standards. And here’s why Clients say they’re fabulous: They’re on-target, crisp, effective, stand-out, remarkably creative, on-time and under the budget of other production groups. How? That’s our Secret Sauce. 

And we’d love to stir it up for you.

Mike Cameron, CEO | Christopherson Business Travel

His experience speaks for itself, but let me speak for it a little as well: Tim is a top-notch professional who navigates through PR waters expertly.
We’re lucky to do work with him.

Hmm, Where to begin with Mr. Tim Brown… The man is AMAZING! I have worked with him for over 10 years and he brings nothing but great things to the table. As a reporter with KSL & KUTV, I had the opportunity to interview many of his clients. I still remember the first interview Tim organized that got everyone talking about “The Kong Kone” at Macey’s grocery store. Moments like this set Tim apart and show his strength in delivering great PR to his clients and amazing live TV segments!

—Jenny Hardman, Anchor/Host | FOX 13 The Place 

I attended a seminar where Tim Brown presented recently. The implementation strategies I took away from the meeting were invaluable! He presents in a way that is easy to understand and offers real-world takeaways. If you are looking to improve your exposure, you will have everything you need to know after you listen to Tim speak.

Sarah Kimmel, CEO | Family Tech, LLC 

To say that Tim is a true professional and absolute Rockstar would be downplaying it. Tim has been an incredible partner and his expertise always shines through in every engagement. His acumen is something I have rarely seen in my career. His creativity and “outside-of-the-box thinking” has kept my team and me on our toes and has helped to proactively address potential communication challenges that most don’t have the foresight to anticipate. His is an innovator, along with being a creative force in the field.  His sense of humor and humility makes him a favorite with anyone he engages with.  Tim has personally helped me grow in my knowledge and skillset as well. I look forward to many more years of working together!

Michelle Rasmussen, Sales Manager | Agility PR Solutions

I arranged for Tim Brown to motivate my sales team to reach higher and develop their potential more fully. He mesmerized them. From his content to his stories to his engaging style, he had them hanging on his words, taking notes and engaging with each other. Most of all, our team came alive with new ideas to re-energize their processes and boost sales. Well worth it. Every minute.
