PFS works with clients to develop and implement communication strategies that identify, engage, inform, and connect stakeholders with important initiatives, programs, and services. Our communication campaigns engage target stakeholders at the right time, in the right place, and with the right message.

- VHA, Procurement & Logistics Office (PL&O) – during the COVID-19 pandemic, PFS established communication mechanisms to respond to, track, and report on Requests for Information received from Congress, the media, and regulatory entities such as the Government Accountability Office and Office of Inspector General often addressing issues associated with the global shortage of personal protective equipment.

PFS’ approach begins with a stakeholder analysis and the development of a strategic communication plan that focuses on: 1) Stakeholders and the communication channels they access, preferred formats, and information sources perceived as trustworthy and credible, and current understanding of the proposed changes; 2) Messages that reinforce the client’s objectives and deliver a clear call to action; 3) Messengers who build trust, increase credibility, and enhance reputation; 4) Media, such as learning platforms, websites, intranet/microsites, social/digital platforms, mobile apps, publications, events/conferences, hearings, and more; 5) Materials, that include presentations, posters, press releases, talking point/speeches, newsletter articles, blogs, fact sheets, learning materials, and frequently asked questions/answers; and 6) Measurement, which includes monitoring, measurement, and analysis to ensure the communication promotes awareness, drives knowledge, and motivates action.
