The world could use some happy news, so we’re skipping the typical year-end roundup of Crisis PR examples and swapping it out for some wins! Join us in celebrating some of our favorite moments from 2022.

 

Roger Triples Litigation PR Practice

Roger and Eden

Since taking over Gillott Communications’ Litigation PR practice, Roger has tripled that side of the business.

With Litigation PR, we either create a crisis for the other side OR develop a strategy and effective communications to explain the ligation you’re about to enter or are currently in.

While Roger remains deeply involved on the strategic communications side, this is proof that you can’t deny your seasoned talents — his love of blending his skills as an AP reporter and editor to distill legal matters.

 

Expanded Crisis Public Relations and Communications Subscription Service for Law Firms

We’re called in to protect law firms and their clients when bad things happen.

  • We stop issues dead in their tracks before they become a full-blown crisis.
  • We handle urgent, sensitive matters that could damage your firm’s reputation.
  • We resolve issues of “bad optics” with your client’s key stakeholders – regardless of whether the media’s involved.

 

What’s the Strategic Communications Subscription?

Anything that falls outside of the realm of strictly legal & crisis and into the critical arena of proactively managing optics & communications. We’re brought in on an ongoing basis to guide clients and avoid missteps.

Law firms love being able to easily pick up the phone and consult with us on small matters before they become big issues.

 

New Branding and Trademarks

You may have noticed a brand refresh here at Gillott Communications. We’ve updated our look and our trademarks this year! Our trademarks now include: Because Reputation Is Your Most Valuable Asset ®, Because You Can’t Turn Back Time ®, and Eden’s popular LinkedIn handle, Dumpster Fire Fixer™.

 

New Board Role: Accelerator Co-Chair for Entrepreneurs’ Organization LA Chapter

Eden is leading the Los Angeles chapter’s Accelerator program for entrepreneurs who are looking to scale their businesses from $250k+ to over seven figures.

Prior to that, Eden served as Membership Chair for three years, working towards boosting the number of women who own $1MM+ businesses.

If you or someone in your global network is looking to join a group of like-minded business owners looking to scale their business, please reach out to Eden via email or LinkedIn. If it’s for someone outside of the LA region, she’s happy to connect you with the right chapter.

 

Second Office Location: Seattle, WA

Eden officially relocated to Seattle, WA. (But not to worry, she’s still in Los Angeles every few weeks.)

Our team is continuing to partner with clients in the US and internationally to develop crisis PR plans in advance and coach their teams on how to deal with sensitive situations so that they can communicate with confidence and poise.

 

Eden Competes in Spartan Trifecta World Championship 

After years of training and event delays, Eden finally headed to Sparta, Greece, for Spartan Race’s Trifecta World Championship!

Athletes from over 50 countries joined together for this 3-day race.

🏃‍♀️ 35+ miles among olive groves, up rivers, and through the town
⛰️ 300+ floors of elevation gain across mountain ranges
💪 75 obstacles attempted

If you’re ever in Sparta, head to the stadium to find her name engraved on its Wall of Honor.
