Fueling change

Media relations strategies for causes in the public interest.

Our agency has counseled many of the biggest nonprofit organizations in the nation and others that are not as large but whose work is nonetheless equally vital to safeguarding the public interest. Our door is always open to any all who are engaged in that work, and we tailor clients’ campaigns accordingly.

“Strategic communications” is a term that defines principles, tactics, and initiatives central to landing successful earned media, editorial content, social media guidance, event coverage, book publicity and planning substantive paid media.

Particularly through storytelling and customized content, Caplan Communications drives clients’ newsworthiness, urgency, and calls to action by implementing operations to advance organizations’ missions, legislative agendas, values, and fundraising.

  • We begin with a “Discovery” phase to better identify your mission, audiences, and desired outcomes.

  • Using a partnership-based model, we co-create and collaborate with you team to unlock fresh ideas and strategies or implementation.

  • The implementation phase focuses on results with full clarity into our process.
