Our Approach

As children we watched with wonder as ripples spread across water due to a stone we dropped—delighted by the response of a single action. As adults, we’re still taking specific actions to achieve impact.

We understand their power to reach and influence many audiences and cause change. Our niche Washington, DC, public relations agency helps clients working on health, healthcare and related issues that affect wellness—like equity, social determinants and the environment—craft and spread their message.

For clients big and small, our general approach is consistent. We ensure that messages we disseminate make a strategic impact with the audience clients most need to reach. We do this by identifying and deploying tactics that we know will be effective, delivered through channels that key audiences trust. We measure results throughout, so we know what’s working and can adjust if needed. And we operate with total transparency about costs, which are determined upfront, so no one is surprised—except pleasantly—by the bill.

Our History

The roots of our firm go back more than 25 years when our leaders began working together on award-winning health communications campaigns. McCabe Message Partners launched in 2016, built on a reputation for understanding complex issues, translating goals into actions and mobilizing quickly to achieve quantifiable results. We offer the expertise of a large, international agency—with the warmth and passion of a small business.
