Lobbying
It’s been said that “Congress is a team sport.” Some days the teams are urban vs. rural. On another day, the teams are Republican vs. Democrats. And still on other days, the teams are divided along generational lines. At Surround Sound Strategies we specialize in developing advocacy strategies that are critical to shaping the policy, the people, and the political dynamics needed to increase visibility and demand for action on public policy issues.

Coalitions
A successful coalition strategy galvanizes seemingly incongruous stakeholders to increase pressure and build support to advance meaningful policy outcomes. With experience leading the multi-trade Small Business Coalition for Affordable Health Care, advancing comprehensive tax reform at the RATE Coalition, or increasing support for a federal regulatory framework for cannabis at CPEAR, Surround Sound Strategies will navigate and advance collaborative outcomes with coalition stakeholders across the political and policy landscape.
