Arvo Advisory, a boutique consulting and executive communication firm, officially launches. The firm has developed an innovative model by building a team that combines corporate strategists with executive communication leaders and public relations experts to create value for clients.
The firm is founded by Stephen Reiff and Steve Soltis. Reiff has a background that has spanned corporate strategy, politics, and management consulting before most recently serving as the Head of Strategy and Corporate Communication for MoneyGram International. Soltis is a 30-year executive communication industry veteran who ran CEO and employee communication at Coca-Cola, UPS and MCI. He also teaches strategic communication at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia.
“Research has shown that company reputation accounts for about 25% of the overall valuation, and we help companies maximize this potential by developing a winning strategy that’s powered by a compelling story to inspire confidence across audiences,” said Stephen Reiff Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Arvo Advisory. “With a model that sits at the intersection of management consultancies and agencies, we’ve created an advisory firm that we wish had existed in our prior roles. We’ve been thrilled by the initial market response for our services – its clear that executives have been looking for this type of offering as they seek to bring their strategy to life at important inflection points.”
On the journey to bridge the gap between strategy and communication, Arvo Advisory has brought together a worldclass team of experts that have driven results for over 35 Fortune 500 CEOs.
“What sets Arvo Advisory apart – and what gets me out of bed every morning – is this exciting proposition of linking strategy to story and doing it with a team that has held inside roles with some of the largest and most respected brands in the world,” said Co-Founder Steve Soltis. “We’re not a typical agency – we’re a collection of corporate strategists and storytellers who’ve ‘been there and done that.'”
