UAE-headquartered communications agency Tales & Heads, which specialises in strategic consultancy and creative storytelling, has formalised its collaboration with REKT Partners, the UK-based reputation, risk and crisis communications consultancy to launch Tales & Heads Reputation,
With the launch, Tales & Heads Reputation will now offers enhanced services to clients across crisis and issues preparedness, crisis simulations, and reputation and recovery strategies – leveraging the expertise, training and digital tools of REKT Partners.
Commenting on the collaboration, Margaret Flanagan, Co-Founder at Tales & Heads, said, “We have known and worked with George Godsal for more than a decade, including providing specialist support for Tales & Heads’ clients with the REKT Partners team over the last three years. We – and our clients – value George’s depth of experience, his strategic thinking and unwavering ability to stay calm in the face of the toughest of circumstances.”
Flanagan added, “Launching Tales & Heads Reputation allows us to build on this partnership and support our clients’ specialist crisis and issues communications needs with the training and tools that empower them to effectively navigate any situation.”
REKT Partners was founded by crisis and reputation specialist George Godsal, who has more than 25 years’ experience of advising clients around the world at the highest levels of business and government, including significant experience in the Middle East spanning financial and professional services; hospitality and tourism; manufacturing; and retail clients.
George’s expertise complements that of the Tales & Heads’ founders Lisa King and Margaret Flanagan, who together, have more than four decades of crisis handling experience for regional and global businesses and governments, covering issues as wide-ranging as natural and environmental disasters, product recalls, litigation, fake news and social media scandals.
George Godsal, Founder of REKT Partners, said, “Tales & Heads has been one of the most successful agencies to launch in the MENA region in recent years, and the co-launch of Tales & Heads Reputation is a natural evolution of our close working relationship. Specialist crisis communications and risk advisory complements the Tales & Heads offer perfectly, and we look forward to lending our support to provide counsel to our shared clients both within and beyond the Tales & Heads’ UAE base.”
The strategic locations of the partners aims to provide extended international reach across time zones, with REKT’s presence in London, and Tales & Heads covering the MENA region.
