Coalition Building in Texas

We know what it takes to successfully build a coalition from the ground up.

How It Works

ECPR Texas understands that there is nothing more powerful than the organized voices of many coming together as one to enact change. Our team has a proven track record building coalitions across the state, with experience ranging from a multi-year effort to bring a Major League Soccer club to Austin–resulting in Austin FC–to a statewide coalition opposed to book bans in schools.

We are the b2c(community) experts in Austin, and we know what it takes to successfully build a coalition from the ground up, beginning with a coalition name and brand to messaging, media relations, and digital strategy and execution.

Texas Mutual and ECPR Texas have worked hand in hand for over a decade, and I’m proud of what we have accomplished together. ECPR Texas is always there to provide expertise and support we need to strengthen communities across Texas and achieve our strategic business outcomes. ECPR Texas works as an integrated part of our team and we expect to partner with them for years to come.

Our business is healthcare, and trust is paramount. I trust ECPR is invested in us successfully delivering on our mission. Working with the ECPR team is relational, not transactional, also an important part of how we approach our work which means we are very aligned in our approach.

We transitioned to ECPR Texas after a tumultuous time in the life of the organization, and they worked tirelessly to ensure a fresh and improved approach to enhancing our brand reputation and reach. ECPR Texas has been a critical partner in ensuring the Austin Board of Realtors remains the voice of real estate in a rapidly evolving and complex market and industry. We couldn't do what we do without their support.

Working with ECPR Texas has been an absolute joy. While I know we’re not their biggest account, they make us feel like we’re their most important account. Their creativity, attention to detail, proactive planning, and engagement makes ECPR Texas an ideal partner for our business and a group we will continue to work with for years to come.
