Mark Glaze, Estuardo Rodriquez and Robert Raben

Whether you need to persuade a committee chair, a board member or a potential client, delivering the right message in the right way is essential.

We approach communications challenges by rethinking them from the ground up. We begin by developing a detailed understanding of your organization, your agenda and the audiences you need to reach. (Often, they’re not who you think they are.) We combine outside-the-box thinking with “inside the Beltway” experience to design the most effective, forward-thinking strategy. We then create and execute an innovative set of tactics to reach your goals.

Our communications professionals draw from years of experience in law, policy, politics and public service. The Raben Group clients take advantage of a tailored suite of services including message development, media relations, op-ed drafting and placement, branding, initiative rollouts, litigation support and crisis communications.
