Landscape Analysis and Strategy Development

The first step to influence policy is understanding the landscape surrounding it. What existing policies are in place? What would be better? Where are you best suited for success? With your unique perspective in mind, we’ll identify key objectives and design a roadmap to get you there. Our industry veterans can survey the political landscape to locate the best opportunities, anticipate potential roadblocks, and craft public policy that evolves with the constantly-shifting environment. We’ll help you zero in on the right policy answer for your organization.

Groups Management and Third-Party Engagement

Once we know the lay of the land, it’s time to build meaningful relationships with the right people. From think tanks and lawmaker groups to policy influencers, media, and industry trade groups, where should you focus your attention? We’ll make sure you’re educating and engaging with key policy influencers who will validate and amplify your message. After decades in the industry, we know that effective state and local government relations programs need a strategic approach to national membership organizations, often referred to as “the Groups.” The Groups provide opportunities for businesses and other organizations to engage and develop relationships with policymakers and key stakeholders on priority issues. MultiState can audit, advise and assess your current engagement, help you design and activate a plan, and ensure you’re engaging strategically and efficiently and achieving intended results.

On-the-Ground Advocacy Networks

The messenger matters just as much as the message — who should tell your story? When it comes to influencing state and local policy, recruiting on-the-ground advocates is vital. We’ll build the right advocacy network to speak for your issue, and if necessary, hire lobbyists, create a coalition of stakeholders, and launch a grassroots and social media campaign. As network builders, we can do it all.

Sharpened Communications

What’s the best way to articulate and share your message? Our communications and policy pros will make your organization’s voice stand out from the crowd, from helping with voice and tone to creating engaging, persuasive, and vibrant physical and digital content.

Efficient Internal Processes

We can take care of the day-to-day tasks that drive government affairs work, like managing your coalition, consolidating your on-the-ground lobbyist reporting, or streamlining your compliance process. Or, you can elect to outsource some or all of your lobbying needs to us — and we provide a dedicated full-time staffer to manage your state and local program, or a team to run your association. Let us keep track of logistics so you can focus on strategy and execution, no matter the size of your government affairs shop.
