About
E.C.C.O.
a diverse collective of entertainment professionals from high-level executives to creatives in the areas of film, music, television, sports, social media and digital.
Our mission is to help bring needed attention to key issues and initiatives that will have a positive impact on the national, regional and local levels via public policy, civic engagement, and legislation.
After policy briefings from political leaders, Consortium members brainstorm and offer plans using their expertise to translate political initiatives into practical communications for the public.
E.C.C.O. “creative translations” explain systems, policies, and ideas into understandable terms, and how these policies affect issues and the community.
In addition to creation, we also assist in the promotion and distribution of numerous important and oftentimes difficult/complex federal and state issues and initiatives.
