Why are we unique?
We’ve been inside the building. Tight budgets, managing up, a company exec getting into a jam that has you in a jam, demonstrating results to the C-suite when your work can’t be easily measured - we’ve been there.
You’ll see us in the Google doc. Ever feel like you’re handing your watch to a consultant so they can tell you what time it is? That’s not our style. We collaborate closely with our clients’ teams to deliver serious work product that adds real value.
We only do tech. We’re hyper-focused on just one industry. We’re subject matter experts with decades of experience working on technology policy and a Rolodex of solid relationships from Silicon Valley to Capitol Hill.
We run this town. Just kidding. But we know this town. Want insight into the Hill’s latest cloakroom strategies? Need help crafting a compelling message or incepting a story with a reporter without fingerprints? You need advisors who “get” D.C. - we do and, more importantly we “get” you. (We also love a good FOIA joke. Not sorry!)
