Issue Monitoring

In order to succeed in today’s environment you must be aware of what is happening in Washington, D.C., and how decisions of policy makers can impact your goals and objectives. The Federal Group monitors legislation being considered in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, as well as regulatory activity in federal agencies and departments.

Issue Development & Strategic Planning

Preparation is the essential component of any advocacy effort. The Federal Group assists clients in assessing the political and policy landscape for your organization in relation to your goals and objectives. The time spent on issue development and strategic planning helps maximize our clients’ resources and puts them in a position to succeed.

“Shoe-Leather” Lobbying

Contact with decision makers in Congress and the Administration is a key element of our advocacy success story. We help in putting our clients in front of decision makers that impact their goals and objectives.

Grassroots and Coalition Building

Congress is inundated with the concerns of millions of constituents on a daily basis. Drawing upon experience working on Capitol Hill, The Federal Group is skilled at designing and implementing grassroots efforts campaigns that attract the attention of policymakers.

Often it takes a collective effort to impact federal policy on important issues. The Federal Group assists clients with efforts to bring groups together to advocate for a common objective.

Strategic Communications

Policymakers seek to back initiatives that align their values with those of their constituents. A strategically placed opinion piece, earned media feature, or high-level TV or radio hit complements the work we are performing for you in other areas, creating buy-in from congressional offices before you even walk in the door.

The Federal Group can plan, craft, and amplify your Capitol Hill messaging through op-eds, press releases, social media, media placement, apps, digital ads, and websites. We also arm you for media and government engagement with talking points and advanced interview prep.

“Congress shall make no law respecting… the rights of the people peacably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
