Developed a full suite of online services for officers of a court. These services encompassed digital branding, building and monitoring a social media network, blog development and response, as well as digital public affairs and issue advocacy.
Designed a comprehensive brand package – including a logo, copywriting, website and social media campaign on behalf of a non-profit organization.
Devised and executed a public relations plan, facilitated thought leadership and secured participation in strategically targeted events, as well as inclusion in legal guidebooks, to augment and preserve a trial law firm’s profile.

WHY
In high-stakes disputes, legal strategy alone is rarely sufficient. Reputation, narrative and public perception increasingly influence outcomes alongside the merits.
ECO Strategic Communications partners with litigators to manage these pressures, providing fact-driven counsel that aligns communications strategy with legal objectives at every stage of a dispute.
We help determine when visibility itself is a strategic choice – shaping courtroom-adjacent communications, managing media scrutiny, and influencing the broader court of public opinion when necessary, while preserving discretion when it serves the case.
Collaborating seamlessly with forensic accountants, intelligence specialists, and restructuring professionals, we contribute an independent communications perspective that strengthens complex, multidisciplinary matters without compromising legal strategy.
