About DHR Communications
DHR Communications is an innovative consultancy that works primarily with organisations that want to bring about positive change in society. Our communications services cover public relations, public affairs and consultation management.
We work to meet clients’ individual needs by offering different levels of services, from strategic advice to hands-on project delivery. For clients seeking to increase internal capacity, we offer a range of tailored training programmes in:
- Media Skills
- Advocacy and Lobbying
- Consultation Processes
Our team is led by the two founding directors, Catherine Heaney and Dermot Ryan, who have well-established reputations as public affairs and PR consultants in the not-for-profit and statutory sectors. Both draw from their experience of working in communications, management and policy-development roles in Irish politics and within NGOs.
DHR Communications is chaired by former ICTU General Secretary and current Chairperson of the National Centre for Partnership and Performance, Peter Cassells.
Based in The Digital Hub, we regularly collaborate with neighbouring digital media companies in the delivery of interactive applications and communications tools to our clients. In addition, we work closely with a number of professional service-providers in the areas of graphic design, printing, research, marketing and fundraising. This ensures that our clients can access the maximum range of services through our Company.
