OUR STORY

Welcome to Black Dog Strategies – where our story is one of passion, expertise, and dedication to delivering exceptional results for our clients. Founded by consumer marketing and public relations veteran Alissa Blate, Black Dog Strategies was born out of a desire to provide a level of strategic insight and execution rarely found in today's agency landscape.

In an industry where growth and profit margins often overshadow personalized attention and high-touch strategy, we recognized the need for a different approach. At Black Dog Strategies, only senior executives are involved in leading and running clients who benefit from years of collective experience guiding communications strategy for organizations ranging from startups and investors to municipalities and big brands.

We take pride in our unique business model working with a select number of clients who view us as an extension of their in-house team.

Our collective team comprises seasoned professionals specializing in consumer marketing, corporate reputation, and issues management, backed by an impressive portfolio of award-winning client work, innovative marketing programs, and revenue-driving communications initiatives. What sets us apart is our unique methodology and approach that distinguishes us from other agencies in the industry.

We're not into fancy offices; we thrive in the remote work environment, staying connected through technology and face-to-face meetings. This keeps us agile and able to respond swiftly to emerging opportunities, so we can pivot quickly to deliver impactful results that exceed client expectations. During our Zoom calls you might catch a few friendly barks in the background.

Join us on our journey as we continue to redefine the possibilities of strategic communications and help our clients thrive in an ever-evolving marketplace.
