PUBLIC AFFAIRS & COMMUNITY RELATIONS PRACTICE

Our Public Affairs strategy is driven by our keen understanding of the political process and how political relationships affect a company’s ability to conduct business. We understand how to manage it from a corporate standpoint ensuring a company’s views and interests are well represented, and we have particular expertise in winning campaign strategies. Core competencies include:

Campaign strategy and management is where we cut our teeth. Not too may are able to say they have never lost a campaign so we’ll keep saying it until we do. Our campaign strategies have landed people on city councils, and in the state house of Representatives. Working on numerous campaigns, both Democrat and Republican, combined with the unique experience of working for U.S. Senator John McCain gives us a unique view and understanding of bipartisan politics.

Political Action Committee (PAC) management transformed Bank One from a small player in the world of Arizona political contributions to a powerhouse Super-PAC within two years allowing the company to play and give at the highest levels allowable.

Community relations strategies are critical to forming strong, mutually beneficial relationships with the communities you serve. Relationships with local and national community groups, advocacy and special interest groups and organizations gives KGPR a competitive advantage that translates into your competitive advantage and a stronger position for our clients. If your first contact with a local or national advocacy organization is when they have you in their crosshairs, then you are in more trouble than you can imagine. KGPR makes sure its clients have good working relationships with key advocacy groups on both sides of their issues so open dialogs and conversations are possible.
