Smith is a management consulting firm that specializes in employee, marketing and corporate communication services. We offer our clients in-depth expertise in human resources, benefits and total rewards, as well as in employee training, business strategy and marketing implementations. We also help our clients communicate during complex corporate transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, spinoffs and workforce reductions.
What makes Smith different? Our people do.
With a minimum of 10 years of communications experience, our partners and consultants do more than show up for meetings and the occasional conference call — We do the work. All the work. Every time.
The Smith model of deeply experienced consultants is a very different business approach than you’ll find in most of the management consulting industry. It is an approach we’ve built to ensure our clients get the highest quality communication services delivered in the most cost-effective way.
Communication – skillfully executed – can help increase an organization’s return on investment in assets, people and employee programs. That’s why we strive to create practical, creative and cost-effective strategies for our clients’ employee, marketing and corporate communication efforts.
Smith provides both turnkey solutions (managing all aspects of an assignment) and à la carte services (often working collaboratively with clients’ internal staff or other outside advisors). Much of this work requires detailed, technical knowledge of a wide variety of business, management and communication issues. Our staff consists only of accomplished professional communicators who can bring this level of expertise to each client engagement.
Smith seeks to provide the most comprehensive, innovative and highest quality communication services for our clients in each area of expertise offered by our firm. By providing strategic, practical and creative solutions for our clients, we can help organizations and the individuals who make up these enterprises around the world achieve their own professional goals. This is Smith’s mission and overarching purpose.
To accomplish this mission we also strive to create the most attractive organization for the marketplace’s best professional communicators to apply their experience, skills and passion. By reaching this employee-focused goal we believe Smith will excel toward our client-focused mission.
Smith’s success is dependent upon our clients’ success. All of our firm’s short term priorities, long term strategic plans, and daily exercise of energy have as their primary focus our clients’ needs.
Smith seeks long-term business partnerships with clients. This emphasis insists on professionalism, the highest commitment to quality services, discreet advice-giving and personal integrity on the part of our consultants.
Smith shares our deep experience and honest opinions with our clients. One of the most important deliverables to our clients is our experience. Because, unlike most of our competitors, Smith only employs senior-level communicators, we can provide our clients with insights and guidance that can only be the result of many years in our business.
Smith is a growing organization looking to identify excellent consulting talent. Successful candidates for employment with Smith typically have at least 10 years of communication experience.

All of our partners and associates have undergraduate degrees in relevant fields and many hold graduate degrees in areas such as business administration, mass communication, social media, education and art design.
Some firms call them internships; we call them apprenticeships. Smith apprentices have the opportunity to see operational aspects of a growing management consulting firm. We welcome candidates from a variety of educational and professional backgrounds. Usually, our Smith apprentices are working toward undergraduate or graduate degrees in related communication or business areas.
