Communications for
High-Stakes
Industries.
We provide strategic clarity for complex problems in maritime, energy, government, and the outdoor economy.
Get Strategic ClarityWe work with organizations facing problems that don’t have easy answers. Sanctions compliance in a shifting trade landscape. Chairlift evacuations. A federal agency that needs public outreach done right. A heritage maritime organization modernizing for the next century. The range is the point.
Core Capabilities
Complex stakeholder environments, high-stakes public moments, crisis situations — organizations that need senior strategy on call, not tactical execution.
Get Expert Eyes on Your ProjectFrameworks built before you need them. Clear protocols, trained spokespeople, and tested response playbooks for situations that can’t wait.
Sharp positioning for complex organizations. Language that works with regulators, communities, and commercial buyers at the same time.
Government outreach that works because we understand how government actually works. Community engagement, public comment, and stakeholder strategy.
Monthly senior strategy without the overhead. Practical frameworks your team can execute — and a strategist available when things get complicated.
Messaging built on real operational knowledge of your industry. Written for your actual buyers, not a generalized market.
Media prep, spokesperson coaching, and communications curriculum for leadership teams and organizations investing in their people.
Dunfey Group was built on a simple observation: most organizations facing complex communications challenges don’t need a big agency. They need one person who has actually done the work in government, in operations, in the field, and can apply that experience directly to their problem.
Shannon Dunfey Konvicka brings 15 years across public sector communications, international maritime operations, and destination marketing. She has sat on both sides of the table: as the government official managing public outreach for a $1.25 billion recovery program, as a VP navigating international shipping regulations, and as the person running marketing for a region of competing ski areas.
The Dunfey family name has carried weight in American public life for generations. Bob Dunfey Sr., Shannon’s grandfather, was the engine behind the family’s rise from a New Hampshire clam stand to the Omni Hotels group. The family also founded Global Citizens Circle in 1974, a nonprofit that has convened world leaders, activists, and communities across five decades around the most pressing issues of the day. That instinct, to do serious work without needing the spotlight, runs through this firm.
The Engagement Model
You work directly with a senior strategist: not an account manager, not a junior writer. When situations get complicated, you reach the person who actually understands your industry and your problem.
We primarily operate on a monthly basis. Deep integration means frameworks your team can actually execute. Practical plans built for reality, not 50-page binders that sit on a shelf.
Select short-term engagements for organizations requiring focused strategic intervention. Many of our longest partnerships began with a single targeted project.
