What We Do

Virtually nothing gets done in the world of public policy without aggressive support and advocacy for a particular position. Grassroots and other independent third party support are increasingly critical in convincing decision makers to make the right choice or take the appropriate position. We build meaningful third party advocacy by educating potential allies, organizing them and then strategically mobilizing them to communicate their support for our clients’ objectives.


EXPERTISE
  • Gallatin’s broad and deep network allows us to efficiently identify the people and groups who are likely to support our clients’ objectives.
  • Building a coalition of supporters doesn’t happen overnight. The first step in building meaningful support involves educating potential allies about why they should care about the issue at hand.
  • Having third-party support doesn’t mean much without organization. We organize grassroots and coalition support so that it can be mobilized at the appropriate time, in the appropriate way, with the appropriate message.
  • Integrating coalition support into the overall strategic communications and/or government relations activities is critical to achieving maximum impact with decision makers. We understand how to deploy third party advocacy so that it enhances the overall strategic approach being employed.
