Education

Essex Strategies brings extensive experience partnering with colleges, universities, and national Greek organizations on both crisis response and proactive communications.

Our work includes navigating leadership transitions, faculty misconduct, Title IX matters, campus safety incidents, labor disputes, and program closures—as well as leading positive PR campaigns that elevate institutional reputation through thought leadership, OpEd placement, and promotion of exceptional student work and academic initiatives.

In each engagement, we provide strategic counsel on message development, tone, and timing for diverse internal and external audiences, including trustees, senior leadership, faculty, staff, students, parents, alumni, donors, and the media. We collaborate closely with presidents, chiefs of staff, communications teams, general counsel, admissions and advancement leaders, and deans.
