Disinformation, narrative intelligence, and strategic influence.
Black Phoenix helps organizations understand and navigate complex information environments. We identify emerging narratives, assess coordinated influence activity, analyze shifts in public sentiment, and develop strategic responses to information threats.
Combining intelligence analysis with deep media and communications expertise, we help clients understand what is being said, how it is spreading, who may be driving the conversation, and what it means for their objectives.

A focused process from the initial intelligence question through analysis, response, and continued assessment.
Establish the information risk, audience, decision, or outcome the engagement needs to address.
Review relevant public information, media coverage, online discussion, and available contextual sources.
Assess narrative patterns, amplification, source reliability, reach, and potential implications.
Deliver findings and practical options for risk reduction, communications, and audience engagement.
Track changes in the information environment and assess the response as the situation evolves.
