Securing Consumer Tax Credits for Clean Air Solutions

Securing Consumer Tax Credits for Clean Air Solutions

To demonstrate the air quality benefits of upgrading old stoves with new, more efficient wood and pellet stoves, Stratacomm helped the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association produce a live-burn demonstration outside EPA headquarters in Washington. The event became a high-profile platform to unveil a new website, video and report on a successful woodstove changeout program in Libby, Montana resulting in coverage on ABC’s Good Morning America and helping secure a tax credit for efficient stoves in the 2009 stimulus bill.

GLOBAL REACH AND RELATIONSHIPS

By accessing the network of our parent company, Fleishman-Hillard, Stratacomm’s reach expands far beyond Washington to other key political capitals, including Sacramento, Ottawa, Brussels, London, Tokyo and Beijing. We also regularly tap the unparalleled insight and relationships of the Fleishman-Hillard International Advisory Board, which is comprised of former government leaders like Andy Card (former White House Chief of Staff), Newt Gingrich (former Speaker of the House), Mickey Kantor (former Commerce Secretary and U.S. Trade Representative) and Dr. David Kessler (former Commissioner of the FDA).
