Our Approach

How "Standing" Builds Trust

Standing Partnership is a leading strategic communications firm, headquartered in St. Louis, Mo., with a satellite office in Charlottesville, Va. We provide a comprehensive approach to reputation management that advances the objectives of diverse organizations, from local to global.

In 1991, Cathy Dunkin, president and chief executive officer, and her sister founded Standing Partnership, naming the company after their maiden name “Standing.” They set out to build a different kind of agency: one built on solid values that would ensure long-standing partnerships with clients, employees and the local communities where the firm operates.

Today, this vision means the counselors at Standing Partnership:

• Acquire deep understanding of clients’ businesses
• Deliver outstanding service and results
• Establish long-standing partnerships with clients, partners, employees and the community
• Provide clients global standing through the Worldcom Public Relations Group

As reputation managers, these “Standing” words are the essence of our work. We create comprehensive reputation management programs that build trust between your organization and those who matter the most to you.

Our work taps into our team’s expertise in five disciplines:

• Brand positioning
• Employee relations
• Issues and crisis management
• Digital communications
• Public relations

We invite you to stand with us and learn how we can help move your organization forward.
