Who We Are
Good communication doesn't happen by accident. It's built through clear thinking, precise language, and a deep understanding of what an audience needs to hear.
That belief is the foundation of Cioffi Communications, founded by Emmalee Cioffi after more than a decade at the intersection of politics, policy, and public engagement.
Emmalee's career has taken her from statehouse press rooms to U.S. Senate hallways, from a fintech startup to the Ohio Chamber of Commerce — giving her a rare vantage point across sectors and audiences. As Press Secretary and Deputy Communications Director for U.S. Senator Rob Portman, she managed a high-volume, high-stakes communications operation, navigating national media while keeping messaging disciplined and on point. Earlier, as Press Secretary for Governor John Kasich and Communications Director for Lt. Governor Mary Taylor, she sharpened her instincts for earned media, rapid response, and executive positioning.
Cioffi Communications launched in 2021 and in January 2026, Emmalee made it her full-time mission.
Today, the firm works with organizations that want to cut through the noise: those who have something meaningful to say and need a strategic partner to help them say it better.
Services span communications planning, media relations, message development, event strategy, and content creation across print and digital platforms.
Whether you're navigating a pivotal moment, launching a campaign, or simply looking to tell your story more powerfully — Cioffi Communications brings the experience, judgment, and craft to help you get there.
"Emmalee is a communications expert who specializes in planning and implementing short-term and long-term organization messaging goals. From foundational strategy to crisis communications, she delivers the sought after results. I highly recommend her services."

PR STRATEGY
A strategy is the key to successfully communicating. It's important to construct your messaging with creative care and brand-bolstering tactics and objectives.
MEDIA RELATIONS
Media relations strategy is the calculated deployment of media to tell your story. It is the process of figuring out the right message and distributing it to the right media sources so that you can reach your targeted audience.
REPUTATION MANAGEMENT
It's true that no matter how hard an organization tries to market its products and services, most customers will look up the reputation of your business before making a decision to engage. A strong reputation will put you ahead of your competitors.
