Orchestra is a strategic communications and marketing company designed for today’s complex and fragmented world. We bring together 700+ people from respected founder-led agencies across communications, intelligence, strategy, marketing, storytelling, and public affairs. Client engagements are led by industry experts, who curate integrated, multi-disciplinary teams from across the whole company to solve the client’s challenge. Our strength lies in connecting the dots across industries, platforms, and audiences — and turning that orchestration into real-world influence and measurable results. Since 2022, Orchestra has acquired nine firms: BerlinRosen, Civitas Public Affairs Group, Glen Echo Group, Inkhouse, M18, Message Lab, Onward and Small Girls PR. It also launched Brightmode, a talent acquisition firm for communications professionals, and Versus Media Group, a strategy-first political media team. Orchestra’s values both inform our client work and guide how we collaborate and hold ourselves accountable. Imagine What’s Possible: We cultivate curiosity through questioning, learning and innovating to tackle challenges in new ways. Make It Matter: We show up, add value and take ownership (even when we make a mistake). Say the Hard Thing: We give direct and constructive feedback. Work as a Team: We root for each other and find opportunities to win together.
