The decennial census is more than just a head count—it determines the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and is used to guide the distribution of federal funds to local communities. In 2020, ecucomm helped the U.S. Census Bureau fill more than 800,000 part-time positions. The campaign included a wide range of online and offline marketing materials, translated into nearly a dozen different languages.

Our creative strategy focused on:

  • Communications Strategy and Planning
  • Media Consulting
  • Multi-Media Buys
  • Multilanguage Outreach
