What We Do
STRATEGIC
COMMUNICATIONS
We advise CEOS and boards through moments where reputations and outcomes are inseparable, and support the steady, strategic communications work that keeps organizations strong long before a crisis ever arises.
Our work includes:
-
Leadership transitions and organizational restructuring
-
Media strategy during periods of heightened scrutiny
-
M&A transaction communications and stakeholder management
-
Crisis response
-
Ongoing corporate communications and executive positioning
We operate as an extension of your executive tam - embedded when situations demand it, independent when objectivity matters most.
DEFENCE
ADVISORY
We advise leadership teams in defence and national security markets on acquisitions, integrations, and operational performance.
Led by a former special intelligence operator with experience supporting defence and security organizations in Canada and allied nations, our work includes:
-
Acquisition due diligence
-
Post-acquisition integration in sensitive environments
-
Operational assessments and performance optimization
-
Market entry strategy for defence-adjacent sectors
-
R&D
We understand both the commercial imperatives and the operational realities of defence markets, including security clearances, export controls, and government procurement cycles.
About Rostrum
Rostrum Advisory was founded to serve organizations where conventional consulting falls short. Situations requiring discretion, operational credibility, and senior judgment.
Our communications practice is led by an executive who has managed communications through acquisitions , restructurings, and crisis situations at publicly traded companies and high-profile organizations. We've sat in rooms where decisions are made under pressure.
Our defence practice is led by a former special intelligence operator who has conducted global operations and advised national defence organizations on capability development, threat assessment, and organizational performance. This operational background informs our approach to acquisition diligence and integration.
We work directly with founders, CEOs, and boards. We don't scale teams or delegate to junior staff. Every engagement is led by a principal with relevant experience.
Our Approach
We've led teams, managed crises, and operated in environments where failure has consequences. That experience shapes how we advise.
We integrate with your leadership team for the duration of an engagement, providing consistent counsel. But we maintain independence. Our value is in telling you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.
Every situation is different. We don't apply templates or assign junior consultants. You work with the people you hire.
