Davenport Strategies is a strategic communications and public relations consultancy founded by Ashley Davenport. We help organizations communicate with clarity, confidence and credibility—especially during moments of transition or growth— drawing on more than 10 years in news, media and corporate communications.

A background in agricultural media gives insight into what reporters and their audiences care about, paired with hands-on experience navigating internal communications, executive support and organizational change inside a 700-person company. The work reflects both strategic intent and newsroom-level rigor.

Brands looking to grow earned media and share of voice, executives and business units needing dedicated communications support, companies navigating change, and organizations wanting to strengthen internal culture and employee engagement.

Strategic communications, public relations and media relations, media training, content development, event communications, internal communications and culture support, M&A and organizational transition communications, crisis and issues management, and fractional communications leadership. Full details are on the Services page.

Yes. Our media training comes from years on the other side of the microphone, booking guests and producing live, nationally syndicated radio. We prepare spokespeople for all types of interviews through message development, mock interviews and on-camera practice.

For a crisis, we help you build the plan before you need it, with holding statements, spokesperson roles and response protocols, and we provide rapid-response support when something breaks.

As much as needed. Some clients want a hands-on extension of their team who joins meetings and collaborates daily; others prefer a more independent consultant who delivers finished work with minimal oversight. Both models work.
