Our Story

Barbara H Hines Consulting is a speciality firm of award-winning communicators and crisis managers who bring big agency talent without the overhead or steep fees.   

We love what we do.

Our veteran professionals prefer to work directly with you, as members of your team, rather than show up at initial meetings only to hand off critical strategy and implementation to junior account execs. 

We have specialized expertise in all critical areas  from branding, marketing and PR to crisis and reputation management, media management and stakeholder engagement. We do more than communicate “at” stakeholders, we involve and motivate them to action. 

We have launched countless new products  including many now-household names. We have also helped clients successfully navigate the difficult challenges of recalling products when necessary and recovering seamlessly to rebuild loyalties and sales.   

 At the center of any successful company, organization or brand is the ability to recognize, prepare for, avert and manage emergencies and threats.  At the same time, internal processes must remain resiliant in order to surface new risks as they emerge and meet the dynamics of a changing landscape.

We offer highly experienced leadership and resources to help you protect hard-won reputations and limit negative outcomes.
