From the first community conversation to the final ribbon-cutting, MJA brings an integrated engagement and communications practice to public sector work.

We design and run planning and design phase engagement programs on behalf of government agencies and their engineering and architecture teams, gathering input so community feedback shapes project decisions.

We manage community engagement on large construction and design-build initiatives, including high-level program oversight as well as dedicated public outreach managers and community construction liaisons.

As a certified WBE/DBE/SBE firm ourselves, we help primes connect with and track certified subconsultants to meet participation goals, and help agencies design and administer their own M/W/DBE and workforce diversity programs.

Our trained canvassers and field ambassadors take projects directly to residents and other targeted audiences, door to door, at transit stops, storefronts, and community hubs, using GPS-verified technology to deliver clean, reportable data.

We support public and affordable housing renovation and redevelopment programs by producing events and touchpoints that keep residents engaged: early informational sessions, tenant visioning workshops focused on scope and decision making, tenant association leadership updates, Family Day and other resident appreciation events, and multilingual relocation support when residents must temporarily relocate.

We serve as a full communications team for municipalities, agencies, and authorities, building brand and messaging strategy, managing media relations, and producing digital content and crisis communications support.

Our design practice translates technical and engineering information into accessible fact sheets, maps, infographics, and interactive engagement tools that make participation intuitive across every age, language, and literacy level.

Whether it's a groundbreaking, a ribbon cutting, a job fair, a contractor networking forum, or a legally required public hearing, MJA delivers events that run smoothly and reflect well on the agencies and primes we serve.
