Robert Burke and Andrew Taylor launch Taylor Burke Communications

Industry experts Robert Burke and Andrew Taylor have teamed up to redefine the landscape of strategic communications and public relations with the launch of Taylor Burke Communications. 

Drawing from their extensive experience, Burke and Taylor had a vision to create a new kind of communications firm that offers senior-level strategic counsel and is focused on crafting digital-first strategies aligned with clients’ business objectives and brand positioning goals.

In particular, the firm, headquartered in New York City, promises bespoke strategic solutions tailored to businesses’ needs in communications, public relations, brand storytelling, executive positioning, media, and content creation.

Taylor Burke Communications launched through word of mouth and has since enlisted a client portfolio including leading names like multi-brand luxury boutique The Webster, publisher 
Assouline, Neapolitan tailors Cesare Attolini, and tequila brand Lalo Tequila. 

“With a long-standing career focused on developing communications strategies and programs for companies such as Burberry, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, it was a natural next step to leverage that experience and share it with a dynamic range of global clients to develop personalized plans that help brands become a part of the cultural conversation,” said Taylor. 

“It is an honor to partner with Robert Burke who is an absolute professional and expert not only in luxury and retail but also media, communications, and brand building.” 

Burke is recognized for his tenure at Bergdorf Goodman and the establishment of Robert Burke Associates (RBA) in 2006, bringing a wealth of experience in business development for top global luxury brands. Today, RBA continues to focus on fostering growth and innovation in the luxury retail sector in North America, South America, Europe, as well as the Middle East and Africa. 

“After many years hearing businesses want something different from a communications firm, I was inspired when Andrew and I started to discuss a new model for a communications and public relations consultancy,” added Burke. 

“Andrew’s reputation in the industry and vast network not only in the media world but at the senior most levels in the business community make him an ideal partner to start this new venture.” 

In a bid to further enrich their offerings, Burke and Taylor have assembled an advisory board comprising industry leaders such as CBS Sunday morning contributor Alina Cho, former senior special writer at The Wall Street Journal Teri Agins, and head of editorial at The Michelin Guide Edward Barsamian.
