ECG

What ECG does

ECG - The Communication Strategy Company (legal entity E.C.G., Inc.) is a US-based private professional services firm headquartered in Saddle Brook, New Jersey. The firm has operated for 35+ years delivering communication strategy consulting through three specialized divisions organized under distinct sub-brands: ECG Healthcare, which prepares drug and device developers for FDA Advisory Committee meetings and other health-authority interactions (with 200+ FDA AdComm engagements since the 1980s); ECG Coaching, providing executive and corporate communication coaching to improve presentation, public-speaking, and strategic-messaging skills; and ECG Events, managing destination events, incentive programs, medical congresses, product launches, and conferences for corporate clients.

The underlying "technology" of the business is human expertise rather than a proprietary software platform — ECG explicitly discloses no productized technology, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities. Service delivery rests on multilingual practitioner teams with deep institutional knowledge accumulated through decades of regulatory meeting preparation and executive coaching engagements across 50+ countries. The firm also publishes Speak Previews®, a registered twice-monthly e-zine launched in 2009, which functions as a thought-leadership and demand-generation asset for the coaching practice.

Revenue is generated through quote-based, project-driven, and likely retainer-style consulting engagements under a professional services model. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and customer engagement is direct enterprise sales with no self-serve or transactional channels. End customers span healthcare, finance, pharmaceuticals, biotech, technology, telecommunications, media, transportation, and aerospace — with healthcare/regulated-industry work positioned as the core growth wedge. ECG has 11-50 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no public ownership data, and operates as an unlisted, privately held corporation with no parent company or institutional investors referenced in available material.
