Our Solutions
Sustainability, Social Impact & ESG Consulting
We guide organizations and leaders in identifying risk-attuned advocacy and impact opportunities to influence social and environmental progress in ways that drive reputation, resilience and relevance.
Managing Through Media, Stakeholder & Government Scrutiny
We counsel and support clients under scrutiny by bringing innovative data-backed tools, bi-partisan policy and issue expertise, discernment of complex stakeholder interests, integrated media capabilities, and an intersectional way of working across practices and regions.
Coalition Building & Grassroots Mobilization
We work with clients to identify potential allies and credible third-party spokespeople who can best communicate a clear and powerful message to decision-makers and build coalitions to help activate these supporters.
Issue Advocacy & Advertising
We partner with clients to build a vibrant community of online advocates, reach and inform them with compelling content and mobilize them to take action. Through our full-service, in-house advertising offering, we create powerful, compelling content in any format – TV, radio, print, digital, outdoor – to support a specific policy position, educate the public on an issue, respond to a crisis or articulate a corporate viewpoint.
Policy Insights & Analysis
We deploy state-of-the-art data and analytics – from proprietary AI tools to in-house market research and polling – to inform communications strategies and to help clients identify and neutralize risks in the policy sphere, including mis- and dis-information.
Stakeholder Intelligence & Engagement
We use our proprietary suite of data-driven stakeholder intelligence tools provide clients with high-quality analyses and insights into stakeholder and influencer communities to inform multi-faceted engagement and advocacy programs that advance policy and business goals.
Leading in a time of complexity
For leaders today, understanding how policy, culture, reputation, and risk intersect is critical for success. A world where everything can be political is a world where the mundane can become controversial and missteps can become flashpoints. We counsel and support clients in navigating this new climate by bringing the best of our AI-backed intelligence and human-led expertise across issues, sectors and regions. Our team has roots in media and deep expertise at every level of government, informing insights into decision-making and strategies that elevate reputations and influence policy debates in a highly polarized environment.
Accelerating progress and impact
In a time of complexity, an organization’s purpose, culture and values are more critical to reputation and stakeholder value than ever before.
Our social impact & sustainability strategists help clients to meet our moment – and lead with brave creative solutions to the biggest issues facing our world. We help clients decode radical complexity to unlock ideas and innovations that create shared value for people, communities, the environment, economies and more. We guide leaders in identifying risk-attuned advocacy opportunities to influence social and environmental progress in ways that drive reputation, resilience and relevance.
Engaging critical government stakeholders
Our team works at the intersection of policy, government, and marketing. We know the cadence and tenor of federal legislative, regulatory and procurement processes. A bipartisan spirit of thinking and action informs all our business-to-government (B2G) marketing and communications.
We help clients make sense of fast-moving shifts in government, politics, media, technology, and culture by unlocking insights that enable deeper understanding of the expectations and needs of key audiences—and offer pathways to integrated, creative solutions. All fueled by highly collaborative, cross-practice teams, with industry-specific expertise.
