Recognized Names. Remarkable Wins.
We specialize in the South—where industry and opportunity intersect. Our work spans multiple sectors and every level of government.
We defended the ‘carried interest’ tax provision for the American Investment Council, rebranded Washington D.C.’s Office of Employment Services (DOES) from worst to first, mobilized national support for a federal crypto framework with Digital Innovation for America, and made history by live-streaming Jefferson County, Alabama’s first-ever commission meetings in 200 years.
We also helped Lockheed Martin secure congressional funding for the F-35, tracked hundreds of bills and advanced Block’s priorities in more than 20 state capitals, delivered millions in new appropriations for nonprofits like the Susan G. Komen Foundation and American Heart Association, and won support for Comcast’s rural broadband grants in Georgia and South Carolina.
