PUBLIC Information

PUBLIC is a communications and impact firm dedicated to advancing the public good. We help campaigns, causes, institutions, and mission-driven organizations build visibility, trust, and momentum through strategy, creative, digital communications, advertising, public engagement, and coordinated execution. Founded in 2017 as Stuart Collective, PUBLIC has worked on the frontlines of climate action, healthcare, education, workers' rights, and political campaigns across the West. Together with our partners, we have helped secure billions in public investment, elect transformational leaders, expand access to opportunity, strengthen communities, and advance policies that improve people's lives. Along the way, we learned a simple truth: important work does not always break through on its own. Organizations are under pressure to achieve bigger outcomes with limited resources. Teams are stretched thin. Communications systems have evolved piece by piece over time. Meanwhile, audiences are overwhelmed with information and attention is harder to earn than ever. The organizations creating the greatest impact today are not necessarily the loudest. They are the clearest. They communicate consistently. They build trust repeatedly. They show up where their audiences are and connect their mission to action. That's where PUBLIC comes in. Our work combines strategy, messaging, branding, websites, video, advertising, social media, mail, texting, research, and public affairs into one coordinated system designed to help organizations achieve meaningful outcomes. At our core, we believe great organizations should not lose attention to better communicators. Because when important work becomes more visible, communities become stronger. PUBLIC also operates PUBLIC Collective, our training and capacity-building division designed to equip the next generation of leaders, strategists, and changemakers with the tools and systems needed to create lasting impact.
