Agency Statement:
Avoq helps companies, organizations and industries elevate ideas, build brands, and tackle reputation or policy challenges. We combine communications and advocacy to creatively shape narratives, manage brand reputation, influence national debates, and engage the audiences you need to reach.
We embrace an ethos of creative advocacy — informed thinking, fresh perspectives, and unique solutions — to drive outcomes with the right audiences at the right time. We don’t start with an idea; we start with a hypothesis. But instead of relying on intuition, our network of more than 200 professionals expertly meets today’s complex communications and policy challenges with a thoughtful, evidence-based approach that blends data, insights, and creativity.
Nicole Cornish, CEO; Paul Frick, Eric Sedler, Dan Sallick, Steve Elmendorf, Jimmy Ryan, Managing Partners; Molly Scherrman, COO; Dave Metzger, CFO
