We have decades of experience serving at the highest level of policy, law, politics, and advocacy. We understand that organizations seeking to engage in advocacy can be intimidated by the quagmire of politics. We work to demystify policy and the political landscape so organizations can make better-informed decisions.
​
We do not use a cookie-cutter or one-size-fits-all approach. We leverage our expertise to help organizations create highly personalized solutions for every client.
Our Approach
01
We are a boutique, high-touch consulting firm. We do not take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our services are personalized to maximize each client's goals and objectives.
02
We are selective about the projects we take on. We only work with clients when we know we can make a meaningful contribution to an issue.
03
We are not your typical government affairs firm. We provide concierge-style strategic thinking to advance your policy goals. We do not farm clients out to junior staff.
04
We value honesty and mutual respect. We will be straightforward about the limitations of advocacy while trying to push the boundaries of what is possible.
05
We like to solve problems. We are used to working on complex policy issues and we enjoy finding creative ways to advance our clients' policy goals.
