Allison North Jones, founder of North Media

Strategy. Storytelling. Media.

Senior strategic counsel and crisis communications for leaders and organizations navigating opportunity, change, reputation and the moments that matter.

Facing a crisis? Crisis communications counsel

Every organization has a story. Not every organization knows how to tell it.

We don't just help tell the story. We help find it.

North Media is a strategic communications advisory firm. We help leaders and organizations find the story, shape the strategy and navigate the moments that matter.

Our media philosophy

Better Relationships Make Better Stories.

North understands both sides of the story: what organizations need to communicate, and what journalists need to do their jobs. Strong media relationships are built over time on credibility, responsiveness, judgment and trust.

The media isn't a distribution channel. It's a long-term relationship.

Issues & Crisis

When the stakes change, the strategy changes.

North provides crisis communications and reputation counsel before, during and after the moments that put leadership, reputation and organizational trust to the test: from crisis preparedness and rapid response to media strategy and recovery.

North Exchange

Where relationships start before anyone needs something.

North Exchange is a growing initiative connecting journalists, experts and leaders for ongoing, substantive conversations.

Through credible sources, useful context, curated introductions, issue briefings and small-group roundtables, it brings together the people telling the stories with the people who understand the issues.
