About Us

Our Story

Since 2007, Prichard has provided communications to social changemakers across the United States to help make the world a better place. In 2015, we became a Certified B Corporation®, joining a global movement of people using business as a force for good.

Our team shares a deep commitment to public service, community, and change. We have chosen this work because we want to make a difference in the issues we care about and in our communities.

We have the talent, skills and experience to help you define and accomplish your strategic communications and marketing goals.

Let's work together to share your story
and make the change you seek happen.

Our Approach

We work backwards here at Prichard.

That’s right. We think the most effective approach to strategic communications is to start with an end goal and work in reverse to lay out a plan that helps advance your mission step by step.

In our communications plans you’ll find recommendations based on informed research, our deep knowledge of the social good field and industry best practices.

Every plan we put in place prioritizes clarity, understanding and, most importantly, reality. We’ll never recommend something we know you can’t take on and we’ll always craft our product with your unique circumstances in mind.

First and foremost, we seek to make you successful by outfitting your organization with a sustainable set of tools that we hope will help you even once we’re gone.

Don’t have an end goal yet?

That’s okay. We can help with that too. We’re experts at partnering with our clients to help define and refine desired outcomes and possibilities.

At Prichard, we’re more than a communications agency. We’re teachers. We’re thought leaders—we’re doers. We want to effect social change just as much as you do.

Let’s do it together.
