What Reevemark does

Reevemark is a boutique strategic communications firm founded in 2018 and headquartered in New York City. The firm advises publicly traded companies, their boards, and their legal counsel on high-stakes situations across seven practice areas: Crisis & Reputation Management, Litigation & Regulatory Matters, Bankruptcies & Restructurings, Shareholder Activism & Governance, Corporate Transactions, Media & Investor Relations, and Digital & Social Media. Reevemark was founded by five former Sard Verbinnen professionals — Brandy Bergman (CEO), Hugh Burns, Paul Caminiti, Delia Cannan, and Renée Soto — all of whom remain actively engaged in client work and individually ranked by Chambers and Partners. The firm has received Band One recognition from Chambers in both Litigation PR and Crisis PR for six consecutive years, and has been named to Lawdragon's Global 100 Leaders list for five consecutive years.

Reevemark generates revenue through professional services fees on customized engagements, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The firm does not develop proprietary technology; its product is senior-advisor counsel, with all founding partners involved on matters and additional capacity provided by Partner Adam Shapiro (Head of Digital), Managing Director Nicholas Leasure, and Partner Pamela Greene. The go-to-market motion relies on Chambers and Partners rankings as the primary procurement channel, since general counsels consult these directories when building vendor panels; this positioning enables Reevemark to compete against larger PR firms despite a headcount in the 11-50 range. Named clients include Dominion Voting Systems, Trian Partners, Diamond Sports Group, Simon Property Group, Sanderson Farms, First Republic Bank, BigBear.ai, Redwire, Cellebrite, Gulfport Energy, H.I.G. Capital, and the Tinder co-founders, spanning litigation, bankruptcy, activism, M&A, and IPO communications.

The firm's most recent strategic moves include the 2024 launch of a Digital & Social Media practice led by Adam Shapiro, the 2025 introduction of a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) service addressing AI-era reputation management, the promotion of Nicholas Leasure and Pamela Greene to senior leadership, and continued upward trajectory in Chambers rankings. Reevemark operates as a privately held LLC with no institutional investors or parent company, and its ownership remains concentrated among the five founding partners.
