Our Specializations
Peritus PR is Alabama’s trusted firm for campaigns needing a powerful combination of issue management and communications to navigate challenges, drive results and create impact. It takes more than just knowing the right people to build sustainable results. Peritus problem-solves, strategizes and delivers solutions to bridge the gap between opportunity and success. Our firm supports issue-based campaigns, statewide policy initiatives, influential nonprofits, ballot initiatives and some of our region’s largest employers. Peritus has spearheaded major initiatives across the state including the Protective Stadium announcement, U.S. Navy Week, the U.S. Civil Rights Trail launch, Embrace Alabama Kids Week, Pepper Place’s Entertainment District designation and Innovate Alabama. We are brought on as an extension of many global public relations firms looking for local counsel on regional public affairs campaigns. Peritus’ trusted reputation has allowed us to work with well-known brands like Protective Life, Alabama Power, Alabama Tourism, Peco Foods and Ford Motors.
Our Approach
Peritus is well known for leading campaigns that require a 360-degree understanding of how policies and community dynamics play a role in shaping public opinion. This specialization allows us to work with a wide range of clients—whether we are helping them face a complicated legislative battle, media training executives for handling sensitive interviews, or leveraging voices on behalf of a statewide advocacy campaign. Our team of communications experts are called upon across the state to help with media training, advocacy and crisis workshops for entities like the Alabama League of Municipalities, Business Council of Alabama and nonprofits like United Way.
