Schweitzer Consulting, LLC

Based in Honolulu, Hawaii, Schweitzer Consulting, LLC is a small PR consultancy led by president Julie Schweitzer Ford, operating since 2004 and serving organizations both in Hawaii and across the United States. The firm has a stated niche in healthcare and financial-related projects but also works with clients in technology, renewable energy, portfolio management, architecture and construction, real estate, nonprofit, government, and retail. The team keeps its client and project load deliberately limited, positioning itself as offering the scope of a full-service agency with the closer attention typical of a small firm. The consultancy's core areas of expertise include media relations, reputation and brand management, crisis communications, and public service and government relations, with an approach focused on integrating PR into a client's broader operations rather than treating it as a separate function. Beyond traditional PR, its listed services extend to websites, viral marketing, niche marketing, loyalty programs, database development, and reputation management, alongside broader capabilities in search engine optimization, advertising, business consulting, direct marketing, social media marketing, and web development. Its case study topics cover corporate positioning, launching a new business, building a loyalty program, crisis communication, and building community alliances, reflecting a practice built around strategic communications counsel delivered to a limited, carefully managed roster of clients.
