CASE STUDY
Communicating the Vision of a New Federal Agency
Overview
Modeled after the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, ARPA-H was created to drive breakthrough R&D in biomedicine – ideas so bold that no other private or federal organization has yet pursued them.
When the agency launched in 2022, ARPA-H turned to Spire to help establish its core messaging, build its strategic communications and media relations function, create its website, and capture its mission on video and in photos.

An online presence as bold as its mission
As an all-new federal entity, ARPA-H needed a website to promote its programs, career opportunities, and early successes – one designed to evolve as it does.
We worked closely with agency leaders on the site structure, content, and development. The result reflects the agency’s position at the leading edge of R&D, with the look and feel of a private innovation center.
PR strategies that break the mold
ARPA-H invests in our nation’s innovators – academic researchers, industry professionals, biotech engineers, and even startup tinkerers. Reaching an audience
Our seasoned PR professionals help agency leaders identify stories that will penetrate the media landscape, connect with potential and collaborators, and enlist them in the work of revolutionizing healthcare.
“ARPA-H is doing incredible work to advance technologies for a multitude of healthcare issues. Our team is here to ensure their PR strategies and communications truly reflect the immense creativity and innovation its mission and vision demand.”
— Hillarie Turner, Account Director, Spire Communications
