Battalion’s seasoned team supports clients across the luxury industry, from global powerhouses and storied not-for-profits to artisan brands and emerging designers. As the boutique agency’s philanthropic client portfolio has grown, so have their offerings; Battalion expanded its services beyond press management for gala events to now include sponsorships, strategic brand partnerships, talent engagement and more. Further honing their holistic, 360-degree approach, leadership created a brand development consultancy to help entrepreneurs and start-up clients in areas such as brand identity, expression and vision – making sure each client is fully prepared to get the most out of PR. Another expanded capability: Battalion provides these clients with input on customer targeting and retail and distribution strategies, as well as on all facets of marketing.
