Education Communications for Organizations

Strategic support across the education continuum.

Education communications encompasses schools, colleges, and universities, as well as a multitude of organizations that support students, families and educators, and FINN is a trusted partner for many of the finest. We proudly partner with philanthropic organizations, associations, nonprofits, and community-based organizations to provide education PR, strategic communications, and marketing support to help them effectively achieve their goals. We are one of the few agencies with deep experience in all aspects of the education continuum, from early childhood learning to the K-12 pipeline, and through all forms of post-secondary education to workforce development and lifelong learning. 

Thanks to decades of experience and longstanding relationships in the field, we are frequently brought in at the very inception of an initiative to help strategically launch, develop foundational communications plans and materials, build capacity and establish a point of view that will move issues forward.
