Communication via Design

Based in the Seaport District of Boston, Massachusetts, at 840 Summer Street, Communication via Design works specifically with nonprofits and social enterprises rather than commercial or general business clients. The small team, sized between 1 and 10 people, has served organizations such as Simmons University Institute for Inclusive Leadership, the New England Waste Management Officials' Association, the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority/Signature Boston, the Social, Emotional & Behavior Academy, and the Greater Boston Food Bank. The agency holds DBE, WBE, and SDO certifications and positions itself as an extension of its clients' internal teams rather than an outside vendor. The agency's declared service areas span Search Engine Optimization, Branding, Marketing Strategy, Web Design, and Web Development, framed around the idea of helping mission-driven organizations communicate their purpose and drive action from their audiences. Its approach centers on strategic communications intended to amplify an organization's mission, build connection with supporters, and motivate engagement. Project work is organized around a portfolio model, with recent examples including InOrder Business, and client relationships are described as ongoing partnerships built to support nonprofit teams over time rather than one-off engagements.
