Welcome to Hogan Strategic Communications

Your message is unique, important, critical. As a trusted communications partner who has created and shaped advocacy, policy, and corporate narratives, we understand what goes into getting your story out.

With more than 20 years of storytelling, message development, and media relations experience, Hogan Strategic Communications helps you do just that.

Whatever you’re dealing with, chances are we have too. That’s how we put decades of trade association, agency, and corporate experience in communications, reputation management, crisis, and advocacy messaging at your service.

  • Get Your Message Across and Tell Your Story Clearly, Concisely

    Communicating can be hard, especially when your issues are complex, technical, nuanced, or emotional. Too often, important messages get lost in their own details. We’ll identify the best approach and right language to cut through the media clutter.

  • Build a Communications Strategy that Works for You

    Let’s build and execute a communications strategy that’s focused on you and your issues. Organizing an effective message campaign is a balancing act, particularly when policy or political topics are involved. We have the experience and expertise to get your plan in place, organized, and ready to go live.

  • Plan and Manage your Media Relations

    Communications should never be an afterthought. To ensure that your story is reaching the right audiences, you need to thoughtfully engage the right media outlets and reporters. We can help, from building smart media strategies and national, regional, local, and trade target lists, to managing your in-house press shop.

Together, we can build a bespoke package of services to provide you with the expertise you need, whether it’s a specific project or long-term support.

  • Assess your communications issues and goals and align on an overarching strategy. Define primary narratives, messages, and supporting points. Build out your media plans and develop targeted strategies to deliver messages and achieve specific outcomes.

  • Work collaboratively to develop and draft key messages and talking points which clearly communicate priorities, policies, goals. Construct an overarching narrative that ties together key and support foundational values or specific efforts.

  • From handling a specific campaign or issue to managing day-to-day media relations as your press shop, we have you covered. We’ve done it all and can do it for you: drafting press releases and media alerts, writing op-eds, pitching, managing media inquires, or acting as spokesperson.

  • Prepare to promote, explain, or defend your issues. We provide media training to individuals or small groups, and engage in mock reporter interviews and crisis media simulations. Customized sessions will develop message comfort and familiarity with talking points and delivery.
