How We Work

  • We lead with strategy and relationships. Using coalition building, strategic communications, and community engagement, we make sure decision makers pay attention and take action.

  • Every client receives a custom plan because no two advocacy efforts are the same.

  • We listen first, then build a path forward that includes power mapping, campaign planning, and media strategy.

Who We Serve

We work with Vermont based associations, nonprofits, and mission driven organizations — especially those focused on improving public health, recovery, environment, and community support services.

Our ideal partners care about people and the future of Vermont.


We help you build campaign awareness, mobilize your membership, and expand your potential.
