Strategic Communication & Public Affairs: Markus Kurz – Senior Advisor for Crisis Management & Political Positioning in Berlin.

About Markus Kurz

Markus Kurz: PR Strategy that delivers results.

For 35 years now I have been consulting institutions and politicians in Germany and other countries around the world. I am a self-employed one-man-show, advising politicians as well as companies and governmental and non-governmental organizations in media relations and public affairs – in a practically relevant manner. My expertise is in the understanding of the interfaces between the economy, politics, administration and the communication media.

I am officially registered in the Lobby register of the German Parliament Bundestag.

My passion is crisis communication in extreme situations. In all these years I could gain intensive in-depth experience with crisis communication even in conflict situations between states. I managed crisis situations of companies and institutions fighting for survival or being confronted with existence-threatening negative headlines. I also accompanied court proceedings as litigation-PR-manager up to highest courts.

Fine if it happens, but It is not the aim of lobbying to be loved, but to be respected and to be treated fairly. Together with the customer we open information channels to react quickly and directly when being asked for information or even attacked. We forward facts and positive news to opinion leaders in media and politics. We create a higher level of positive awareness in the media and establish further useful networks to attract positive attention in the abundance of information that reach editors and politicians all over the world. Therefore, one elementary skill is needed: the ability to quickly produce texts and wordings of highest quality for every purpose and every political level.
