    Counsel

    Our strategic counsel begins by helping you define your end objective. We do this by employing some old-fashioned values that are all too rare these days.

    We listen. We ask questions. We respect the uniqueness of your organization and its needs. From there, we will craft a strategy that measures and models each step, with the milestones required to achieve your end goal. We consider ourselves full partners with our clients, and we are not afraid to disagree, regardless of the popularity of our views, in order to give you the very best counsel.

    At FRED, we'll help you define what you want to accomplish, plan how best to accomplish it, execute and evaluate it.

    Communications

    The three "C's" of communications:

    Clear
    Concise
    Consistent

    We hear you and work with you to determine and develop a message that is entirely clear, concise, consistent and resonates with your target.

    We help you integrate your message across various media (newspaper ads, direct mail, website, social, billboards, etc.) so that your message stays clear, concise, consistent.

    At FRED, communication is the act of conveying information for the purpose of creating a shared understanding.

    Community

    We bring to our clients a wealth of background and experience in public affairs that is unmatched by other consulting firms in the state.

    We understand the ever changing dynamics in communities of color is part of a critical path requirement for success.

    Because we have experienced the physical impact of socioeconomic disparities, the pain of institutional racism, and inequity of services experienced by our families, our children and communities, FRED is uniquely positioned to help you develop messaging that will reach, resonate and reflect self-determination, wellness, justice, economic prosperity and personal responsibility in communities of color.

    • Marie Stroughter

      Media Director

      As a blogger, podcaster, speaker, and the opinionated host and co-founder of the African-American Conservatives (AACONS) Radio Show, I understand that campaigning is not completely a science, nor is it totally an art. At FRED we bring both science and art to our clients.

    • Craig DeLuz

      Legislative Advocacy

      As the President of the UnCommon Sense Media Group my goal is to not only provide our clients with internal focus and organization, but to also provide external communications, outreach and influence. FRED has the same goal. And because we both understand legislative advocacy plays a critical role in helping our clients reach their goals, we work together.

    • Walter Hoye

      Founder

      As founder, my goal is to grow a strong movement of Black Republicans, reflecting the Party of Abraham Lincoln, that address the issues of culture, race, poverty, religious freedom and the sanctity of human life from a conservative Judeo-Christian worldview.
