“Brands’ constituents and consumers expect to have their questions answered and opinions heard, despite increasing distrust of almost every industry and institution in America. But people still trust people, and we see an opportunity to step up the role honest communications play in creating dialogues that embrace different perspectives,” Clayton said in a news release. “When a brand can talk with its audience, not at them, it grows trust, respect, and advocacy.”
Genuine Article Brand has 16 clients and operates in North Texas, Austin and Phoenix. The brand focuses on public relations, cause communications, issues management, public affairs and strategic marketing.
