Advocacy Campaigns

Our campaigns aim to create powerful, emotionally resonant messages in all forms of media.

We believe in integrating traditional petition gathering, GOTV, advertising and earned media, and combine these tools with a variety of social media and e-advocacy tools to shape the debate and change public opinion as part of a holistic, integrated plan.

Crisis and Issue Management

In times of crisis, maintaining a positive reputation is crucial. Our crisis communication services are designed to help you effectively manage and mitigate potential risks, protect your brand image, and rebuild trust with key stakeholders. The key to successfully handling a crisis situation is effective pre-planning, organization, and anticipation of issues that could arise in your business. Our strategic approach to crisis communication and issues management is all about helping your business and its key leaders identify potential issues, develop a crisis communication plan, and build relationships with the right people and organizations ahead of time.

Would you be able to develop and activate a coalition of distinct community-based organizations within a short frame of time? Would the coalition hold strong when it came time fora final vote or approval? Our past experience has enabled us to successfully organize influential grassroots organizations and grasstops leaders on behalf of our clients to demonstrate an involved and empowered community. We focus on:

Government Relations

We think people are the most important factor in business, which is why we have invested in building personal relationships with elected officials, staff members, regulators, and decision-effectors for over twenty years. In an era when the political landscape evolves continually, businesses and organizations are constantly faced with new challenges–more regulation, delays in permitting and difficult entitlements, and overall an unpredictable business landscape. We help our clients successfully navigate through all of these uncertainties by offering a clear and predictable path and in a timely manner that helps them save time and money. We maintain strong and authentic relationships with legislators and government officials at the local, state and federal levels. We utilize past experience, diplomacy and common sense to provide an effective strategy for each client’s unique situation.
