changing the game for corporations and NGOs

BaughmanMerrill has over 25 years of putting our political communications experience to work leading educational, persuasion, informational and crisis communications campaigns for corporations and NGOs across the country.

Years in the trenches has taught us that a communications campaign based on an all-channel media effort made up of paid, earned, and owned communication sources can be the key for an organization seeking to achieve a specific goal with any audience, whether regulatory bodies, elected officials, the general public, or all of the above.

Our team of experienced persuasion communication professionals has been applying the same strategic principals we bring to bear in nationwide, statewide, or citywide political campaigns to “win” the communications battles for dozens of non-political clients.
