Who We Are
Boutique Speed, Senior Attention
Echo Communications Advisors is a public affairs firm specializing in clean energy, climate, and conservation policy. We operate at the intersection of Washington, DC, and key state capitals nationwide. Through strategic communications, we help clients achieve their most critical policy, regulatory, and funding objectives by navigating the unique political landscapes of both the federal government and state-level decision-makers.
From the halls of Congress to state legislatures, we tell our clients’ stories to drive narratives and shape the environment in which decisions are made. Drawing on experience in U.S. Senate leadership, presidential and gubernatorial campaigns, and multi-state advocacy coalitions, our team brings a sharp political acumen to strategic communications. We empower renewable energy companies, advocacy organizations, coalitions, foundations, trade associations, think tanks, climate tech start-ups, and prominent leaders to drive progress wherever policy is made.
