Understanding the landscape leads to more effective communications.
The best communications work starts with context.

Organ donation & transplantation
Transplantation is one of Carrigan Strategic Communications’ deepest areas of subject-matter expertise.
Dan previously led public relations, marketing and strategy for VCU Health’s Hume-Lee Transplant Center, supporting heart, kidney and liver transplant programs and managing media relations, patient storytelling, physician communications, advertising, crisis communications and strategic planning.
He later served as an Edelman Health Sector subject-matter expert in solid organ transplantation.
That experience provides a foundation for working with transplant centers, organ procurement organizations, donation organizations, industry partners and others across the transplant ecosystem.
Higher education
Academic institutions have stories everywhere. The challenge is identifying which ones advance the mission.
Experience includes health professions education, academic medicine, university research and innovation, faculty thought leadership, student storytelling and institutional communications.
Associations & advocacy
Associations sit at the intersection of members, industry, policymakers and the public.
Carrigan Strategic Communications supports associations with executive communications, advocacy messaging, public affairs, member communications, industry storytelling, media relations, events and thought leadership.
Senior living & community care
Communications in senior living require both accuracy and humanity.
Experience includes continuing care retirement communities, independent living, assisted living, rehabilitation, skilled nursing and community-based senior programs.
Automotive, housing & business
Our work also extends into automotive retail, home building, real estate development and other industries where policy, economics, customer behavior and reputation intersect.
Don’t see your industry?
That doesn’t necessarily mean we can’t help.
Good communications principles travel well, and we are intentional about taking on work where our experience can add value.
