Solomon McCown & Cence

Solomon McCown & Cence was a Boston-based strategic communications, public affairs, crisis management, government relations, and digital marketing firm. The agency originated as Solomon McCown & Company in 2003 and was renamed Solomon McCown & Cence in 2020 after Daniel F. Cence became CEO, owner, and managing partner. In 2022, the firm merged with Murphy Donoghue Partners and began operating under the new brand Issues Management Group. While the company served clients in healthcare and other regulated sectors, it was not itself a biotech, pharma, or healthcare operating company. It is best understood as a professional services firm focused on communications and advocacy rather than drug development or healthcare delivery.
