During the final weeks of the primary campaign through the November election, Crawford Strategies was part of the day-to-day press operation for the Patrick/Murray gubernatorial campaign.
Crawford Strategies was then hired by the Patrick/Murray Inaugural Committee to manage the strategy, messaging and media operations for the first outside inaugural ceremony in the history of Massachusetts for Governor Deval Patrick and Lieutenant Governor Tim Murray.
With over 35,000 people filling Beacon Street and the Boston Common, the unprecedented 12-event state-wide inaugural celebration was the largest and most inclusive in Massachusetts’ history.
Steve Crawford was able to put to use his extensive knowledge of the intricacies of state government to successfully manage a demanding press corps during the historic five-day celebration.
