Why Civic Engagement Matters & 2026 Comms Planning

For 10 years I have made a conscious choice to align myself with organizations, leaders & colleagues who share my same unwavering desire to make Nevada a better place to live. Having a seat at a table where topics and decisions are being discussed has given me an advantage to shape my firm and the work we do. Civic engagement to me means continuing to work with transportation planners, civic engineers, regional service providers who support my neighbors and our community.

 

How Are You Preparing Your Communications Strategy for 2026?

With the recent passage of three pivotal Nevada Assembly Bills which affect our citizens and workforce AB 116 (Revises provisions relating to food delivery service platform providers) AB 169 (Revises provisions relating to health insurance), and AB 375 (Revises provisions relating to intoxicating liquor. ), the communications landscape for public agencies and organizations is shifting quickly. These legislative updates reinforce the importance of public safety, broad outreach, and fair competition. At EAC, we ask a critical question:

 

 

Are you ready to communicate with clarity, quality and impact?

As trusted leaders in civic engagement and strategic communications, we don’t just keep up with change, we help define what effective, whole community communication looks like in today’s environment.

Why EAC?

At EAC, we go beyond surface-level strategies. We bring a data-informed, people-first approach to communications that ensures your message lands and lasts. Our commitment to face-to-face outreach, multilingual campaigns, and tailored comms planning sets us apart in a world where digital-only strategies are losing ground.

 

Here’s what we’re thinking about and what you should be too:


 

1. Budgeting for Communications Isn’t Optional, It’s Essential

2026 planning is here. Communications can’t be an afterthought or squeezed in at the last minute. With attention spans shrinking and misinformation rising, your audiences need clear, trustworthy messaging and they need it now. Let us help you build smart, scalable budgets that reflect the true value of outreach.

2. Screen Burnout Is Real, And It’s Hurting Engagement

Open and retention rates for digital campaigns continue to decline. We’re seeing rising screen fatigue across age groups. At EAC, we know that authentic, in-person engagement pop-ups, town halls, intercepts, canvassing doesn’t just cut through the noise. It builds trust. It builds relationships. And it builds results.

3. Face-to-Face Isn’t Just Nostalgia, It’s Smart Strategy

Our experience proves time and again: meaningful community input happens in-person. That’s why our hybrid strategies combine tech-savvy solutions with boots-on-the-ground presence, ensuring your messages resonate across all audiences, not just the digitally fluent.
