Our Services

We are strategic

Our process begins with a solid understanding of your needs and doesn’t stop until they are met.

Strategy

Research, brainstorming, deep-diving—call it what you want. Strategy is the backbone of CRA. We start each project with a smart, thorough plan of attack.

Creative

Our creative team brings that plan to life with panache. Whether it’s print, video, audio (ask about our CCO’s “golden pipes”) or pixel, we can make it.

Digital

There’s no “traditional” and “new” anymore—all channels work together to achieve your goals. We know exactly where your creative and your brand should be on the web, social and search.

Media

We don’t just stop at launch. With intentional media buys, optimization, adjustments, reporting and more, we are keeping tabs until well after your goal is achieved.

CRA knows us as much as we know us. The CRA team is an offshoot of our team. They are a great partner and we truly cherish the relationship and the results they produce.

Michael Fillhardt

Staff Vice President, National Accounts Marketing, Anthem

Through content development, branding, video and messaging, CRA has been invaluable in helping us modernize our look and make our product lines really stand out. The CRA staff often knows what we need before we do.

Julie Lehto

Senior Marketing Manager, Justrite Safety Group

Thanks to CRA we have amassed thousands of followers who are interested in transportation and regularly debate the issues we put in front of them. This audience has delivered time and again, and helped in getting community members to take action in support of transportation initiatives.

Jeffrey Southard

Executive Vice President, Virginia Transportation Construction Alliance

When we needed help teaching our team effective ways to communicate during public events, we knew Charles Ryan Associates was the best option. They were precise, knowledgeable and hit all the major points of communicating. CRA always provides us with top quality work.

George Porter

Project Outreach Specialist, AEP Transmission

CRA has been a true partner in our organization, to the point of sometimes knowing what our teams need before they even ask! Their team effortlessly combines creativity, talent, a strong desire for successful outcomes and a “can-do will-do” attitude. CRA is our friend, partner and teammate every step of the way—working with them was one of the best decisions for our company.

Greg Burton

Board of Directors Executive Chair, Encova

For the past two years, CRA has been bringing creative ideas to life. From ideas to execution, CRA has done it all including our 2019 Year in Review booklet and our social media efforts. We’ve seen an increase in audience engagement, event participation, fundraising efforts and overall interest in the Leadership West Virginia program and attribute a part of this to our marketing efforts with CRA.

Pam Farris

Executive Director, Leadership West Virginia

I strongly recommend the quality services CRA can provide. In every case, our partners at CRA have consistently exceeded my expectations and gone above and beyond what was required for us to succeed. Their expertise and consistent hard work make collaborating with them a pleasure and guarantees success.
