Vast Experience on Both Sides of the Microphone and Camera

The M.E. partners — Morton Dean and Ed Fouhy — and senior adviser Paul McDermott have had successful careers in all areas of communications: journalism, public relations, public presentations; we have coached corporate executives, public officials and public service leaders.

We've thrived and succeeded in highly demanding professions:

• Where every phrase must be accurate and meaningful and no word can be inexact or misunderstood.
• Where the message being delivered must be clear and not subject to misinterpretation.
• Where America — and sometimes the world — depended on us for clarity in delicate and fast-changing situations.
• Where failure to meet a deadline was career ending.

M.E. Communications Partners, unlike many consultants, have vast experience on both sides of the microphone and camera; in the spotlight or in the audience reporting on events.

We know the value of preparation. We know how to perform under pressure. We know how reporters and blogger-pundits will react to what you say and how you say it.

Our experience suggests that most executives can improve their communications techniques. And we can teach you those skills.
