Strategic Framework
While others react to change, we realign you to lead it. We give you the strategic framework, the communications strategy, and the plan to effectively communicate your value to everyone that matters.

Communicate Clarity
We’ve done it when the mission was unclear, when the funding vanished, and when consensus seemed impossible. While others wait for clarity, we create it.

We uncover what leadership, Congress, industry, and internal blockers actually believe—so we can shift the conversation.
What’s consensus. What’s myth. What gets traction. What kills it.

We rebuild the agency’s value proposition from the ground up—rooted in mission, law, and the future. The case for your survival. Articulated and defensible.

“Harmonic International provided NASA Aeronautics with positive ideas, strategies and tactics during a difficult transition period. As Associate Administrator for Aeronautics, their principal value to me in this regard was the fact that their advice was backed up with real data, rather than anecdotal opinion. With their assistance, we were able to address several key challenges, including improving our communications with our customers and stakeholders. Harmonic provided results when we most needed them.”
NASA, Dr. J. Victor Lebacqz, AA for the Aeronautics Enterprise
“As Assistant Administrator for Public Affairs, I originally had my doubts as to the value of Harmonic International’s efforts. However, when I saw the results of their data I understood the value of their work. Armed with the data driven messages and advice on communications we were able to develop an integrated and cohesive message regarding the Nation’s “Vision for Space Exploration” that the American people readily understood and appreciated. Also, armed with their advice we were able to better control duplicative and wasteful communications efforts.”

“When management thinks they know it all, this is one process that proves they don’t. Stones that were ignored get overturned, jewels are found underneath and the end results make everything shine. This isn’t a process for the faint of heart, but it is a damn smart and effective one.”
Johnson & Johnson, Sergei Kuharski, Ex-product Manager, Tylenol
“Like many people in her industry, Robin demonstrates a passion for what she does, and a powerful commitment to get the job done well, completely and with a richness that is quite unique. But far more than that, she has the ability to maintain a laser-like focus on the task at hand, keeping all those around her motivated, focused and committed to not only getting the job done but getting it done in a way that delights the client. She has my highest recommendation.”
