About DKC
overview
DKC has always been an eclectic agency. We combine the creativity, expertise and senior level engagement characteristic of a boutique agency, with the strategic abilities and intellectual capital of a large corporation. Established in 1991, DKC is one of the top ten independent firms in the United States by fee revenue. Our diverse client list means that we customize public relations solutions for Fortune 100 companies, entrepreneurs, non-profits and creative individuals across a broad range of industries. The breadth of our expertise and our daily engagement with leaders in the media, politics, industry and academia keeps us ahead of the latest trends in public opinion. At DKC, creative strategy and positioning leads to smart media coverage and digital media connections that energize brands and meet our clients’ business goals.
Our government affairs practice, launched in 2009, puts these principles in practice for our clients who need strategic support with state and municipal governments in New York. DKC Government Affairs provides government relations strategy and political counsel to Fortune 100 companies, real estate developers, not-for-profit organizations, health care providers, and the telecommunications industry among others, by crafting individual, client-specific strategies and implementing them tactically and successfully. Our clients benefit from decades of legislative and political experience navigating the complicated inner workings of state government.
At DKC, we see ourselves as expert storytellers, with the experience, connections, political and media savvy to deliver results for our clients
some of our work
Delta Air Lines
Based on the success of DKC’s award-winning communications program for Song, Delta Air Lines retained the agency to develop and manage an extensive public relations and re-branding campaign.
New Balance
Since 1992, DKC has worked closely with Jim Davis, Chairman of New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc., under the brand identity of “Endorsed by No One,” growing New Balance from a $200 million company to $1.5 billion in sales today.
PBS — The War
On September 23, 2007, PBS launched THE WAR, a Ken Burns film. The goal, for DKC, was two-fold: to drive tune-in for the series by creating a national event and to bring war and combat issues into the national conversation.
Sirius Satellite Radio
DKC was retained by SIRIUS Satellite Radio to announce the acquisition of Howard Stern’s radio show and to promote Sirius’ original content.
