"When You Hire Larkin/Volpatt, You Get Larkin and Volpatt."
Is your message Different, Defensible, Disruptive and Direct? At the onset, we help our clients frame their ideas to ensure they are telling the right story for their target audience, be it customers or partners. We also pair messaging development with competitive analysis to make sure our clients are differentiating themselves in the marketplace.
Understanding the competition plays an important role in all of our planning. From the overall messaging down to the media and analysts that are talking about the competition we dig deep and get smart about your competitors.
From press release creation to proactive and reactive pitch development we are experts in getting your word out. Our intense focus on messaging allows us to frame your story in the announcements and pitches that we create. While knowing a reporter is a foot in the door, having the right story to tell enables us to hit a home run.
LVC has secured speaking slots for many of our clients at key industry conferences on panels, keynotes and as industry experts. To name drop a few: SXSW, ad:tech, TechCrunch Disrupt and more… we are here to get you out there.
Keeping on top of the competition, what's new in your marketplace and trending topics allows us proactively and reactively generate new ideas to be constantly creative in our outreach.
We are not only PR people, but also Super Connectors who know other Super Connectors. Whether it is potential partners, customers, investors or advisors, Kate and Michael are always on the lookout for ways to make you more successful. Learn more details about this unique value add.
What is a Super Connector you ask? A person that knows people who know people, and also a person who can intuitively put two and two together and knows when an introduction should be made.

That is what is at the heart of LVConnect and part of the service we provide to our customers (oops… we like to call you our partner).

Michael and Kate were an absolute pleasure to work with over the several years I retained them for PR services during my time at Hearst Magazines. They really went above and beyond the call of duty to help get our digital media division on the map as a real "player" and I always felt that they were part of my internal team because they would make us feel that we were their sole client (which I'm sure is the case with each of their clients). They really cared about the success of our business and how they could support it through PR efforts. I would highly recommend them.

A chance meeting turned into the opportunity of a lifetime! LVC quickly ramped up to speed on our product and pitched a story to the broadcast media that launched Bungee Tags into the national sphere and translated into 1 MM in earned media value and thousands of dollars of sales. We couldn’t have found a better partner for our venture.

Kate and Michael under promise and over deliver. They are creative and smart about their approach and have a deep understanding of how to shape a message and get it out there.
