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.

Jenny Rios

Vice President

  • Partners with clients to provide senior counsel and develop program strategy
  • Manages day-to-day details of program implementation
  • Provides high-level media relations strategy
  • Oversees account teams firm-wide

Jenny brings more than 15 years of public relations and public affairs experience to the Stratacomm team. She provides senior communications counsel to clients and specializes in media relations, writing and editing, community outreach, partnership development, grassroots mobilization and special events work.  Currently focusing on a national education campaign for the Department of Energy, her tenure at Stratacomm has included work for clients in both the public and private sector and made her a wine lover, an advocate for energy efficiency, and a pro at dressing in the dark for early morning TV interviews.

Prior to joining Stratacomm, Jenny worked for four years at the advertising firm Earle Palmer Brown, where she led a national public relations program for the Children's National Medical Center and ate too much steak while leading media outreach and local marketing efforts for Ruth’s Chris Steak House.  She also helped educate hard-to-reach populations about the benefits of Direct Deposit on behalf of the U.S. Department of Treasury. Jenny previously worked with The Jefferson Group in Washington, D.C., where she specialized in health care advocacy and regulatory compliance.  Early in her career, Jenny conducted research with the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

A pre-med graduate from the College of William and Mary, and a scientist at heart, Jenny spends her free time doing mad science experiments with her kids and exploring the parks and trails of our nation’s capital.
