about us

It’s all about the buzz you build and the conversations you create. At HC, we’re committed to creating strategic conversations with our clients, the media and audiences of all kinds.

Boutique Agency

Based in downtown Chicago, Henson Consulting (HC) is a boutique agency comprised of talent from leading global public relations firms and America’s top newsrooms. One thing we all have in common: creativity and the desire to make a big impact with it.

Big Brands & Big Ideas

HC works with some of the biggest and best brands in the country, providing first-rate creativity and high-impact results in broadcast, print and online media in the U.S. and abroad. We help develop the big ideas that get our clients noticed in the press and among their consumers.

As former big agency professionals, we understand the importance of providing the highest level of service to our clients. At the onset of each project, HC works with its clients to identify key program objectives and recommend communications tactics that provide the biggest “bang for the buck.”

Relationships & Results

We believe in developing strong, meaningful relationships with our clients and regularly interact with them, often multiple times a day. Many of our clients see us as a true extension of their internal brand teams and include us in ongoing strategy discussions, planning, and implementation of overall brand strategies. We deeply value and appreciate that role.

We’re also equally as comfortable working alongside other agency partners. We often say, “We are happy to play in anyone’s sandbox.” And unlike most traditional big agencies, with HC you will have direct and day-to-day interaction with the senior level PR strategists on your business, who know how to add value, provide strategy and get you results.

Client Connections

As an independent agency, we have the unique ability to be selective about new client projects and the companies with whom we work. We only seek out client relationships where we have a true passion for the business and a deep connection with their brand. We love what we do, and it shows.
