Timbre Strategies

The timbre (tam-bər) of a voice is a particular character or quality that makes a voice unique. Therefore, how an organization says something is as important as what it says. Timbre Strategies helps Fortune 500, middle market and startup companies, as well as non-profit organizations of all sizes, speak in authentic, differentiated voices. We craft brand narratives that use distinctive competencies, key milestones and other achievements to substantiate an organization's industry leadership. While plenty of brands proclaim leadership, we help our clients demonstrate it. And we do so in a voice that accounts for the expectations of their key stakeholders. We specialize in ESG and corporate citizenship, reputation and issues management, crisis communications, employee engagement, storytelling and thought leadership. Formerly a global executive for both Edelman and FTI Consulting, Timbre Strategies Founder and Principal Bob Knott has garnered the industry's top honors, including the PRWeek Award for Corporate Branding Campaign of the Year and the Golden Sabre for Corporate Image. Also, the environmental sustainability initiatives of both GE and Walmart—two case studies in which Bob played critical leadership roles—are chronicled in Michael E. Porter's and Mark R. Kramer's Harvard Business Review cover story, "Creating Shared Value". As a virtual consultancy, we assemble teams comprised of communications, design and research specialists based on the discrete needs of our clients. We work extensively in energy, financial services, healthcare, higher education and technology—and possess in-depth knowledge of the environment, human rights, public health and economic development. Timbre Strategies offers the experience and expertise characteristic of large-scale consultancies. The difference is our senior personnel are far more accessible, hands-on and cost-effective.
