What Liam actually does.
The communications work that turns a client's strategy into earned coverage, persuasive messaging, and the right story landing with the right audience at the right moment.
Speechwriting
From Cabinet-level addresses at HHS to floor statements for senior Members of Congress — speeches built around message discipline, voice authenticity, and audience-specific framing.
Rapid Response
Cabinet-level training in the discipline of getting it right and getting it out fast — the operational tempo required when the story breaks at 6:47 PM and the network needs a statement by 7:00.
Earned Media & Press Strategy
Direct relationships with national and Hill-focused press built across three congressional offices and a Cabinet department — the basis of every successful placement, op-ed, and exclusive.
Rollout Strategy
Designing the sequence of how a bill, position, or initiative reaches the public — exclusives, surrogate outreach, social timing, and follow-on coverage planned as one integrated operation.
Official Spokesperson Work
On-the-record experience as a Congressional Communications Director — fielding press calls, drafting statements, and acting as the named source on official messaging for both legislative and campaign operations.
Social & Digital
Direct hands-on management of social and digital channels for a sitting Member of Congress — bringing the platform-native instinct that traditional comms shops too often outsource.
Education
Trained in writing & strategy.
Communications strategy at the highest level rewards two things — the ability to write with clarity and the academic frameworks to think about persuasion systematically. Liam was trained in both, at two of the most respected institutions in American higher education.
Bachelor of Arts
Colgate University
Studied writing and political science — the dual foundation of every senior communications strategist's career.
Master's Degree
Georgetown University
Public Relations and Corporate Communications — the program that has trained a generation of Washington's most accomplished PR and public affairs professionals.
