When you retain Mike Truppa Communications, you’re working with Mike in person, and not just in name. 

Mike is a sole-practitioner with three decades of experience tailoring strategic communications for non-profits, government agencies, and philanthropic institutions.  That means clients obtain day-to-day access to Mike.  He’s the name on the e-mail you’ll get at Midnight – not just on the invoice you’ll receive at the end of the month.

At the same time, through a stable of strategic partnerships with public relations specialists, copywriters, editors, and designers, Mike Truppa Communications can assemble the larger teams commensurate with major capacity needs. 

Under Mike’s direction, our work is
relentlessly strategic. 

Though factors may change in the external environment – new storylines can emerge in the media; political power may shift marginally, but fatefully, in the legislature or City Council, unforeseen emergencies divert attention – we remain cognizant of the goal, the audiences, the messages that reverberate with them, and the foes who may stand in our way so that today’s tactical decisions keep you on course toward the long-term objective.

That’s the analysis we bring to all projects, whether broad issue campaigns that require public votes or the development of a single brochure meant to resonate with donors. 


It’s the perspective that Mike has acquired over 30 years working both in-house and as an external consultant to organizations looking to leverage communications to advance programmatic goals.



As a trained journalist, Mike schooled on distilling a story to its essential themes.  As a veteran of issue advocacy campaigns, he understands how to convey that message through multiple platforms at once.   As an alum of several non-profit organizations, he knows how to do it all by himself on a restricted budget.
