Protect, manage, and advance your mission.
Crisis situations threaten an organization’s reputation, financial stability, and in some cases, its viability. At no other time is strategic communication more vital to its survival.
We have successfully handled situations from mass shootings and terror attacks, to accidents, sudden management changes, labor issues, corporate restructurings, litigation, and more.
We work closely with you to provide practical counsel, thoughtful communications planning, and executive coaching so you’re prepared before a crisis hits and ready to handle it when it does.

Costello Communications offers the senior-level expertise you would find at a large agency coupled with the personalized attention and care of a boutique.
Clients' needs vary. But, every organization has the same fundamental objective: communications strategies that deliver against business goals.
It's that simple.
Elizabeth Costello is the strategic mind behind Costello Communications, where she works with some of Minnesota's (and the world's) coolest people, brands, and organizations.
In addition to her own company, Elizabeth has held communications leadership positions at Medtronic, the world's largest medical device company, and Fleishman-Hillard, one of the world’s largest full-service communications firms.
What else? TV news.
Elizabeth has broadcast from The White House and the Tokyo Dome, covered the election of Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura and interviewed country music superstar Garth Brooks - that's when she wasn't busy with product recalls, business mergers and other breaking news.
Elizabeth graduated magna cum laude from the University of Notre Dame and earned a master of science in journalism at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism.
