OUR STORY

Poisonous animals have gained notoriety since their venoms (secreted or injected) contain several useful bioactive substances. In parts of the Caribbean, the blue scorpion’s venom has demonstrated cancer-fighting properties and is being developed as a drug to treat the disease. The venom is known for its healing factors and its potential to save lives, much like antimicrobial substances identified in the Komodo Dragon’s blood. Drops of venom from a blue scorpion are anti-inflammatory in the same way that BSRM protects its clients. Our communications expertise and training extends over 15 years in print and corporate media environments. BSRM understands where the risks lie, and we exist to help clients take steps to avoid or counteract crises, communicating to critical audiences. We value serving as trusted counsel in making sure that every client is given the best advice to elevate their brand and business. We sow excellent services for clients to reap stronger sales opportunities, advantage, strengthened employee recruiting, retention, and trust among stakeholders.

MISSION

We exist to protect and uplift your identity by providing reputable client services built on trust.

VISION

To establish BSRM as the global authority on crisis communication, specializing in the industries we serve.

VALUES

1. Serving as trusted counsel in making sure that every client is given the best advice to elevate their brand and business.

2. Trust, reliability, and timeliness are at the core of our principles.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

At BSRM, we pride ourselves on our ability to ensure that every client is given the best advice to elevate their brand and business. However, we don’t believe the advice stops with our clientele. Our focus is not only on building and retaining our clientele but providing our team with an opportunity to continue to learn and grow within the company. BSRM believes it has a duty and responsibility to sculpt and mold the next generation of communications professionals.  Through our training and mentorship, we are bridging the gap from college to corporation, assisting students who may lack the experience or job-readiness 

necessary to make that transition by themselves. Recent graduates lacking in real-world applications of the skills learned throughout their college career can benefit from the knowledge and insight of our staff of seasoned professionals within the communications industry while developing a portfolio of work samples and related experience. BSRM would like to serve not only as a top specialist communications firm but also as a hub for the recruitment of talented and energetic young professionals within the field of public relations, marketing, and advertising.
