Selected work
Building a Washington presence from zero
A U.S. veteran-owned energy developer in South East Asia had no license, no product and no profile in Washington. We built its narrative, full web presence, video and content, secured meetings with relevant trade outlets and top-tier press, and brought in and worked hand in hand with a lobbying firm to secure meetings across Capitol Hill, the executive branch and port authorities.
How we work
You work directly with the founding partners, Frank De Maria and Elie Jacobs, supported by senior advisors where a matter calls for specialist expertise.
Engagements run as a 50-Day Sprint, a defined project, retained counsel or standing advisory, depending on what the moment needs.
Common questions
Are you a lobbying firm?
No. We lead the strategy, narrative and stakeholder engagement, and when a matter calls for registered lobbyists we bring in the right firm and work hand in hand with them.
Can smaller companies have an impact on policy?
Yes. A clear story, the right relationships and credible allies often matter more than size. We help companies with limited resources focus on the offices and moments that count.
Which sectors do you cover?
Our work includes energy, defense and dual-use technology, AI and emerging technology, financial services and life sciences, supported by senior advisors with national security and policy backgrounds.
Where do you work?
Primarily in Washington, with senior advisors in New York and London for matters that cross borders.
