Agency Statement:
 |
Caplan develops communications strategies that shape decisions, not simply visibility. Its work integrates narrative strategy, earned media, rapid response, thought leadership, media training, stakeholder and coalition engagement, and crisis and issues management across policy, regulatory, legal, and advocacy environments. The firm brings senior communications judgment when the stakes, scrutiny, or public consequences rise, translating complex scientific, legal, regulatory, and policy issues into clear, credible public narratives.
The firm’s work spans climate and clean energy, environmental protection, civil rights, public health, labor and workforce issues, housing, infrastructure, and economic opportunity. Representative clients and campaigns include AFGE Council 238 / the EPA Union, National Wildlife Federation, NRDC, American Rivers, Union of Concerned Scientists, E2, UNITED SIKHS, and other public-interest organizations.
Founder and President Aric Caplan provides principal-led counsel informed by newsroom experience and more than two decades of public affairs practice. In 2021, a peer-reviewed Brown University study highlighted Caplan Communications for work that helped advance climate policy and strengthen public understanding.
