Our Services
Government Relations
Our number one activity is government relations. We have a proven track record of working with business and government to achieve results – results that work for both the public and private sectors.
Public Relations
We develop campaigns to change public attitudes; create and direct communications programs to manage difficult issues; and craft strategies to shift the media environment.
Grassroots Mobilization
We design and manage campaigns to activate grassroots networks, either to raise issue awareness, or to create public pressure for policy change.
Policy Research and Development
We conduct extensive background research and develop all types of policy documents. These include major submissions and sector reviews as well as individual issue-based analyses.
Association Management
When volunteer associations find it difficult to grow or meet the needs of their members, we offer professional, experienced management, including managing all communications, membership renewals, and back-office support.
