Legislative

We emphasize a legislative affairs approach to prepare our clients to serve as their own best advocate through direct interaction with legislative officials. This approach is augmented by the development of active and vocal coalitions and grass-roots constituent engagement. We integrate traditional news media and new media outreach to ensure your issue gets the right attention. If necessary for the strategy, we will help you gain specialized legal and lobbyist counsel to ensure every resource is available to achieve your goal.

Regulatory

Many solutions are best attained through direct collaboration and engagement with administrators and regulatory officials having oversight over an aspect of your issue. Solutions are often derived more quickly and cost effectively here rather than in legislative affairs. Our staff has served in official federal and state roles and have an impressive track record of success in attaining solutions through our regulatory affairs approaches

Political

IMS devises strategies to help our clients wage campaigns that drive through partisan politics to create an environment for change. This includes alignment with incumbents and candidates, and forming and managing political action committees and other citizen initiative groups.

Intergovernmental

We help our government clients collaborate and work through jurisdictional and policy oversight challenges. Operational mandates often are in conflict with differing agendas and priorities. Our private sector clients count on IMS to work through the maze of governmental jurisdictions and agencies to get their projects approved.

Public Policy

IMS practitioners have government public policy-making expertise. IMS employs a holistic approach to bring multi-disciplinary teams together along with cost-benefit analysis, means testing, and practical steps to engage the public policy-making process, or to turn policy into real action.

Grass-Roots Advocacy

IMS understands how to identify, engage, and mobilize key stakeholders, target constituents, and communities to take action with their elected officials, organizational executives, opinion leaders, and the news media. Our winning approaches help your voice be heard to bring positive changes in behaviors and policy.
