Services

Five areas of practice.

You know your work matters. Getting the right people to understand it is often the hard part. Morgantown MarCom helps businesses, nonprofits, associations, campaigns and community organizations communicate clearly, from focused counsel on a single announcement to ongoing strategy and hands-on production. Every engagement is scoped to what the work actually requires.

Communications Strategy

When people inside an organization describe its work differently, the message gets muddy. We help you agree on clear messaging and a workable plan before anything goes out the door. Positioning, communications planning, executive and organizational messaging, content strategy, and internal and stakeholder communications.

Media Relations & Reputation

Reporters can't cover what they never hear about, and interviews are easier with preparation. We help you pitch your story and get ready for the questions. Media relations and outreach, press releases and advisories, interview, spokesperson and public speaking preparation, announcement and launch communications, and reputation, issues and crisis communications support.

Public Affairs & Stakeholder Engagement

Decisions that affect your organization are often made by people you don't talk to every day. We help you reach them and explain your position clearly. Legislative affairs and lobbying, government and community relations, stakeholder mapping and engagement, coalition and partner communications, advocacy and issue campaigns, and support for public meetings, hearings and testimony.

Marketing & Creative

Marketing aimed at everyone tends to reach no one in particular. We plan campaigns and materials around the people you most need to reach. Marketing and campaign strategy, targeted digital advertising, copywriting for web, print, email and advertising, social and digital content, content calendars, collateral, direct mail and event communications.
