What We Do

Government & Political Affairs

TBG advises clients on government and political matters at the federal, state and local levels. Our work includes legislative strategy, government relations, policy development, regulatory engagement, political analysis and direct interaction with elected officials, policymakers and other key stakeholders.

We help clients understand what is happening, why it is happening, who matters to the outcome and where opportunities exist to influence the conversation.

Corporate & Industry Advisory

Companies increasingly operate in environments where business decisions, public policy, politics and public opinion overlap.

TBG works with corporations, associations and industry leaders to evaluate those intersections, anticipate challenges, identify opportunities and develop strategies for engaging government, political, industry and community stakeholders. We also help organizations build relationships, assess reputational and political risk and bring outside perspective into important decisions before they are made.

Law Enforcement & Public Safety Advisory

Law enforcement and public safety remain one of TBG's deepest areas of experience and relationships. TBG maintains direct relationships throughout the law enforcement and public safety community, including connections with leaders and organizations representing tens of thousands of officers nationwide.

We help organizations understand the law enforcement perspective, engage with public safety leaders, develop partnerships and navigate issues where policing, public policy, politics, business and public opinion intersect.

Our work can include roundtables, focus groups, advisory efforts, policy development, stakeholder engagement and strategic partnerships.

Public Affairs & Communications

TBG helps clients communicate clearly when the audience matters and the stakes are high.

Our work includes strategic communications, public affairs campaigns, message development, media strategy, issue advocacy, executive communications and crisis response. We also develop communications strategies around legislative, regulatory, political and corporate issues where public opinion and stakeholder engagement can directly affect the outcome.

The objective is simple: understand who needs to hear the message, what matters to them and how best to reach them.

Strategic Advisory

Some challenges don't fit neatly into a single category.

TBG serves as a senior strategic adviser to organizations and leaders facing important decisions, changing political environments, reputational challenges, organizational transitions or new opportunities. That work can include organizational strategy, political and reputational risk, positioning, relationship strategy, growth planning and long-term decision-making.

Often, our role is simply to provide an experienced outside perspective — someone who understands the environment, sees the connections others may miss and is willing to give clear advice about the best path forward.

Coalitions & Strategic Partnerships

Some of the strongest opportunities exist between organizations that have never had a reason to work together before.

TBG builds coalitions and strategic partnerships across business, government, associations, advocacy organizations, politics, law enforcement and public safety. We identify shared interests, develop relationships and bring the right people together around opportunities where collaboration can accomplish more than any one organization could achieve alone.

Sometimes that means building a formal coalition. Other times, it simply means recognizing that two organizations should be talking to each other — and making that conversation happen.
