Stratacomm or Strat@comm is a public relations and lobbying firm that primarily draws its clients from the automobile and transportations industries and, to a lesser extent, the alcohol and beverage and technology industries.

Stratacomm created Sport Utility Vehicle Owners of America, which it currently houses in its Washington office. SUVOA's president is Statacomm principal Jason Vines.

On March 26, 2004, O'Dwyer's PR Daily reported, "Fleishman-Hillard has acquired a majority stake in Strat@comm, making the Omnicom unit the leader in the automotive PA arena. CEO John Graham ... says Strat@comm will operate as an independent entity, and continue to be headed by co-founders Jeff Conley/Ron DeFore and Diane Steed, a former administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Strat@comm has chalked up more than $5 million in `02 fees from clients, such as Ford Motor, General Motors, DaimlerChrysler, SUV Owners of America, Techniques for Effective Alcohol Management, Nissan North America and Coalition for Vehicle Choice."[1]
