ABOUT - Choptank Communications

Our Story

hoptank Communications has developed unified brands and strategic marketing initiatives for dozens of clients with a proven track record of success.

From first consultation through community and constituency engagement, conceptual development and creative execution, principal Brent Burkhardt works directly with every client. We help tell your story when, where, how, and to whom it matters most.

We start by listening, understanding and identifying your unique goals. Then we roll up our sleeves and get to work. Assessing opportunities, harnessing resources, and creating action plans that are measurable, relevant and realistic. Whether facilitating focus groups, designing ad campaigns, or securing news coverage in specialized media, we deliver against that plan.
