    School Safety Preparedness: One Leader’s Personal Mission

    Active threats are an increasingly harsh reality for school districts nationwide—and for parents and school district leaders tasked with protecting their students and staff, school safety is an increasingly complex challenge. In this episode, Branigan Director of Crisis Communications and Reputation Management Jennifer Roche speaks with Ty Breitlow, an award-winning educator and district administrator for the Lomira School District in Lomira, Wisconsin. Breitlow understands firsthand the importance of school safety awareness and preparation, as his father Dale, an assistant principal at Wauwatosa West High School, died in a school shooting in 1993. Breitlow discusses how this experience continues to inform and shape his professional and personal advocacy mission today, and the importance of communication in helping to ensure a safe school environment.

    Behind the Rebrand

    How does a brand go about redefining its identity in a way that is thoughtful and impactful? From Pepsi to Uber, rebrands are a necessity for companies of all industries and reaches, for different reasons, and on different timelines. Whether the company’s product offerings have evolved, or the way the brand is visually represented needs a refresh, rebrands allow companies to pivot, reinvigorate, self-evaluate and ultimately grow in ways both directly and indirectly related to the rebrand itself. On this episode of the Branigan Podcast, we embark on our journey in reimagining our company’s identity, and how a company reintroduces itself to the world. Visit the new site: www.braniganinc.com
