Who We Are

At Your Service

Creative.  Results-driven. Motivated.  Inquisitive.  Risk-taking. Innovative.  Spirited. Ethical.  Fun.   These attributes aren’t things easily discernable from a resume.  They are, however, the core characteristics Stratacomm looks for when someone wants to join us.  

Those making the cut are a balance of seasoned professionals and rising stars. They are experts in transportation, energy and environment, infrastructure, defense and security, education, and healthcare, to name but a few areas.  They are digital experts, policy wonks, powerful writers, special events mavens, and media junkies.  This rich and varied blend of people and expertise allows us to build customized account groups that are tailored specifically for each client’s particular needs.  Our people embrace a challenge and dig in to help our clients win. We create a dynamic culture that brings out the collective’s very best work.

We value the individual and cultivate the team. Together, we work hard, have fun, and understand that our reputation is built (and maintained) by two things: unmatched client service and winning results.

Emily Howard

Senior Account Executive

  • Contributes to Stratacomm’s Event Management Practice
  • Specializes in event logistics, communications strategy and media relations
  • Promotes public education and awareness to targeted audiences

Emily joined the Stratacomm team in late 2007. As a Senior Account Executive with a focus geared toward infrastructure, transportation and public safety projects, she provides event management expertise and sharp media savvy to any and all of her clients. Her work with the firm has afforded her some truly unique professional experiences, with projects ranging from the Woodrow Wilson, 14th Street and New York Avenue Bridges, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Amtrak’s Great American Stations, AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, the Diesel Technology Forum, Navistar Defense, the Washington Regional Alcohol Program and the Washington Metropolitan Council of Governments.

Emily is a builder by nature, be it relationships, campaign platforms or full scale events from the ground up. She understands the value a solid foundation can lend to any project and can tactically carve out a path that will enable all the puzzle pieces to come together. Not only is she able to see the forest for the trees, she can tell you the size, shape, number and color of each tree’s leaves. No matter how creative or farfetched, she’ll bring your idea to fruition flawlessly.

When not trying to save the commuting population from themselves, Emily can be found tooling around Arlington, VA with her husband, Rich, and their fashionably clad canine, Sammy. She is a graduate of The George Washington University with a B.A. in communications. A lover of all things pop culture, she’s been known to conduct entire conversations by quoting only movie lines. Challenge her if you dare.
