Improve public conversation, and human relations

We live in a complicated world - a world in which everyone seems to be competing for attention, a world in which every individual is overwhelmed by messages and images.  We see that everyone is waiting for a chance to talk, and too few of us are interested in listening.

Hoggan & Associates can help your organization turn down the noise and open up the space needed for healthy and productive conversations.

Our Strategy

1. Do the right thing.

2. Be seen to be doing the right thing.

3. Don’t get #1 and #2 mixed up.

In today’s noisy and confusing world, few of us can afford the complications (or expense) that can arise from being misunderstood. All of us rely on our credibility—to be convincing and, sometimes, just to be believed. Whether it is a personal reputation or a corporate brand, a good public image can have incalculable value.
