An Introduction

LEXICON COMMUNICATIONS CORP. is a full-service strategic public relations and crisis management consulting firm, and has the distinction of being the oldest and most experienced crisis management firm in the country.  In addition to offering comprehensive strategic public relations and marketing communications services to a wide range of regional, national and international clients, we are widely regarded as one of the leading crisis management firms in the world. Our pioneering work in proactive crisis management as a corporate discipline is now considered cutting edge for forward-thinking companies, many of whom we have been privileged to represent over the past 20 years.  And, our proactive and reactive crisis management work is studied and practiced in colleges, universities, business schools, branches of government (foreign and domestic) and even other public relations firms.

By virtue of Lexicon’s intensive involvement in all aspects of the first economic espionage case to go to trial after the passage of the Economic Espionage Act of 1996 – as well as its comprehensive research into all other significant economic espionage cases – the firm has developed a unique specialization designed to help companies protect their valuable trade secrets from theft, and protect companies from further damage if economic espionage has already occurred. (See www.EconomicEspionage.com for more information).

Additionally, Lexicon Communications has been pre-approved by American International Group for crisis management and crisis communications fee reimbursement under AIG's unique CrisisFund liability policies.

We pride ourselves on our creative, strategic, rifle-shot solutions to clients' marketing objectives. We have been privileged to represent numerous prestigious and well-known corporate clients, many from the ranks of the Fortune 500, and are widely recognized for our proven achievements on behalf of clients in such fields as: consumer products, food and beverage, business-to-business, health care, education, pharmaceuticals, industrial manufacturing, chemical and petrochemical, financial services, National defense, real estate development and construction, law and accounting. (Please see our Roster of Client Experience for more information). However, we are equally adept at working with entrepreneurs in start-up ventures, where creative problem-solving is a highly sought-after commodity.

Recognizing that the relatively small global village presents unique problems to many of our geographically-dispersed, multi-national clients, we have achieved many successes in bridging cultural differences while creating comprehensive and consistent strategic public relations and crisis management plans that meet common, corporate objectives.

While publicity can produce instant exposure, we make certain that our clients understand that such exposure alone can be hollow and fleeting. Strategic public relations requires a certain amount of time and planning in order to create awareness, advance an issue or generate sales; and effective crisis communications requires speed, experience and foresight in order to be successful.

Years of experience in working for and with the news media have enabled us to develop exemplary professional relationships built on mutual respect with news, assignment and feature editors of local, state and national broadcast and print media outlets. Our knowledge of the needs and requirements of trade journals important to our clients' marketing goals has helped us develop article placement proficiency with consistently high results. 

We are a highly results-oriented firm with a comprehensive and thorough approach to client problem solving that compels us to individually tailor programs to client needs. All programs are designed to meet specific agreed-upon marketing objectives. We offer a multitude of services uniquely formulated to help clients heighten their visibility in their respective marketplaces. And we work best when we are brought in as members of the client's total marketing team.
