Our clients are organizations with substantial communications responsibilities — and the expectation that every engagement will be led by experienced practitioners who understand the stakes.
The communications challenges across corporate, government, and nonprofit contexts are substantively different. Our practitioners are organized to reflect that — each sector has dedicated leads who understand its specific regulatory environment, stakeholder expectations, and media dynamics.
We advise Fortune 500 companies and growing national brands on brand strategy, market expansion, investor communications, corporate reputation, and the increasingly complex intersection between commercial interests and public opinion. Engagements range from long-term retainer relationships to discrete campaign assignments.
Federal departments, state agencies, and municipal governments face communications challenges that combine public accountability, legislative sensitivity, and media scrutiny unlike any in the private sector. We have worked with agencies across defense, infrastructure, public health, and regulatory affairs.
Nonprofits and nongovernmental organizations must achieve outsized communications impact with constrained resources. We work with national associations, foundations, advocacy organizations, and international NGOs to build brand equity, expand donor bases, and amplify mission-critical messaging.
"Cormiq brought a level of strategic rigor we hadn't seen from outside counsel before. They understood our regulatory environment as well as our internal team, and the communications program they designed shifted our standing with key legislative stakeholders in less than eight months."
"We had tried three other firms over a decade. None of them took the time to understand our donor base, our program outcomes, or why our brand had eroded. Cormiq did. Two years later, our major donor retention is up 34% and our earned media coverage has fundamentally changed in quality."
"The brand repositioning work Cormiq led over 18 months is the most consequential strategic investment we've made in a decade. They identified the real problem — which was not what we thought it was — and designed a program to address it systematically. The results speak for themselves."
If you're working through a significant marketing or communications challenge, we'd like to hear about it.
