Direct line
Contact.Send a short note. Shane reads every one.
Burkett & Associates runs as one engagement. PR, communications, and brand strategy are not three services that happen to share a client — they are one practice, staffed by the same senior team from the first discovery conversation through the final quarterly reputation report.
That shape is what the short form below is built for. Tell us the moment you are weighing, who the engagement needs to reach, and the timeline and budget you are working in. Shane reads every submission and follows up within two business days with a short reply — a follow-up time, a discovery call slot, or a direct recommendation if the brief is better suited to another firm.
Five fields, two minutes. The form lands in the firm’s intake inbox.
What happens after you submit
Shane reads every submission.
The submission lands in the intake inbox by email and writes a row to the consultation log so the team can track the conversation end to end.
Same day
Intake log
A reference id and a received timestamp are emailed to the firm's intake inbox. Shane sees the submission alongside every other open conversation.
Within two business days
Direct follow-up
Shane or the partner who would carry the engagement replies with a follow-up time, a discovery call slot, or a referral if the brief is better suited elsewhere.
Discovery
Positioning brief
The first deliverable is confirming the brief is right. The firm does not start work on homework that turns out to be the wrong frame.

What you can expect
A direct reply, not a queue.
Every consultation request is read by Shane personally. If the work fits the boutique integrated model, a follow-up call is scheduled inside two business days with the senior partner who would carry the engagement. If the brief is better suited to a one-off placement or a referral partner, that comes in the reply too, with the reasoning spelled out.
