Positioning and Media Counselling
An organisation that is properly understood will gain more recognition. How your organisation is perceived will affect the value of your business.
Lilleby Frisch assists our clients in messaging, media handling, and long-term positioning. We assist in the development and implementation of communication strategies, to attract the attention of key target groups and stakeholders.

Public Affairs
Organisations are dependent on being heard and understood by political authorities, civil servants, and interest groups.

Crisis Communication and Emergency Planning
When the unforeseen and unexpected occur, well-run organisations have effective emergency plans in place and have trained their emergency response team as well as the rest of their organisation.
Lilleby Frisch assists clients in developing and revising their emergency response plans as well as preparing and executing emergency exercises. We also have substantial experience in supporting management when a crisis occurs.
