Our Story

Individuals and institutions today face unprecedented challenges and the digital revolution that has transformed the world shows no signs of abating. After years of operating alongside our clients handling all types of digital “special situations”, we formed Sensei to create a new type of firm: one that combines best-in-class digital reputation services via our sister company, Status Labs, with battle-tested, experienced counsel in the more traditional areas of communication strategy. The combined offering is unlike any available today, and we’re proud to become the first company to provide total reputation management advisory services at scale to clients across the world.
