Strategic Communications
Located in the Washington, D.C. area, we have deep expertise and relationships across the federal government, Congress and the media that we regularly draw from to advise and support our clients’ missions and goals.
Unlike other strictly lobbying or strategic communications firms, our members offer extensive subject matter expertise and contacts drawn from distinguished careers in the U.S. government and military; broadcast, print and digital media; and a range of international companies and organizations that we leverage to help our clients navigate and achieve success.
Our Strategic Communications capabilities span crafting strategic messaging, providing media training and relations, and developing effective social and digital media campaigns. Our government relations experts maintain excellent credentials and expertise in relevant organizations, regulations and budgets. We advise and promote our clients’ products, services, and organizations, and help clients build positive, effective relationships with key decision-makers, influencers and audiences.
