At New Heights, we’ll work in collaboration with your team to craft a strategic plan to execute on, a robust landscape analysis, and messaging that will move your audience. We’ll conduct communications audits and landscape analysis; organize focus groups and message testing research to ensure success; plan for leadership transitions, rebrands, and other major org changes; and execute a smart, strategic, multi-layered comms effort that uses the media, partners, and social to tell your story.

The media environment is bananas. Breaking through it takes a smart, focused plan, a compelling message – and the right team. We know what it takes: we’ll connect you with the right reporters through our decades of relationships and experience, we’ll prep spokespeople to speak on-the-record and on-camera (arming them with strong talking points), and we’ll get your insights out there through op-eds, statements, & press releases.

New Heights uncovers the deeper “why” that drives your work and translates it into messages that shape how audiences think, feel, and act. Grounded in social psychology, audience research, media analysis, and stakeholder insight, we develop clear, testable narratives designed to withstand scrutiny and shift the conversation in your favor. And we don’t stop at strategy: we train your team to use the messages in real-world conditions — building alignment, discipline, and confidence so your narrative holds under pressure. We know that communications these days isn’t just about persuasion — it’s about shaping perceptions — and we equip you with the frameworks to do just that.

  • Developing messaging guides with proactive ideas for implementation
  • Media analysis and polling audits
  • Socializing messaging with spokespeople through trainings and workshops

New Heights helps leaders move complex, structural ideas into the mainstream by shaping them into narratives that are timely, rigorous, and newsworthy. Through a customized process that challenges assumptions and sharpens each leader’s unique lens, we identify the core ideas that can drive long-term influence—not just one-off moments. From there, we build consistent visibility through strategic placements, partnerships, and coordinated campaigns, ensuring those ideas land in the right outlets and reach the audiences that matter. The result is durable “idea stickiness”: a steady drumbeat that raises profiles, expands reach, and positions innovative leaders as trusted voices in their field.

  • Tailored plans to elevate leadership profiles
