Matter

Combining decades of experience in community and government relations with a 360-degree view of the land use entitlement process, Advocacy has the practice, the relationships, and the know-how to help you achieve your project goals.

With a focus on building consensus to drive results, we bring people together and forge the strategic partnerships and personal connections that produce winning outcomes.

Focus

Relationships matter.

With strong roots in city government, we understand the land use permitting process inside and out and know how to get things done.

Trust Matters.

Our outreach philosophy reflects a fundamental respect for the individual needs, interests, and concerns of the communities in which we operate. Through ongoing focused outreach and thoughtful interactions, our team has built a reputation for integrity, inclusion and mutual respect with community leaders and a diversity of stakeholders.

Words matter.

Both well-practiced in the world of direct mail and keen to current communication trends, we crystallize your message and customize outreach tools based on the nature of your project and the audience you want to reach.

Perception matters.

Getting your story out before others define it for you is critical. With an exhaustive knowledge of the media landscape, both traditional and new, we help our clients shape their message and stay ahead of the story.
