What We Do.
SMART Policy Group brings the experience of all its partners to the service of our clients and their teams, providing intelligence and guidance specifically geared to their individual needs. We leverage our knowledge of policy and the legislative process to engage directly with government officials, ensuring our clients have a seat at the table. Our relationships with policymakers, elected officials, and senior staff have allowed us to guide our clients’ strategy to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Relationship-Building and Client Branding
We build lasting relationships with federal and state policymakers by branding our clients as trusted resources in public policy. Our goal is to help our clients proactively build long-lasting brands and ensure a positive reputation with legislative bodies and government agencies.
Advocacy
Through education, outreach, and direct advocacy, we build powerful government relations campaigns to affect legislation, regulation, appropriations, and other legislative and regulatory actions. We have a proven track record leading targeted campaigns to achieve the best results for our clients.
Expert Policy Analysis, Development, and Advice
SMART Policy Group’s policy experts stay on top of the latest developments so our clients don’t have to. We work to match client goals and objectives with policy by tracking, analyzing, and developing legislation, federal program opportunities, freedom of information requests, solicitations, requests for information, and white papers.
Association and Coalition Management
SMART Policy Group has a roster of current and former association executives who are skilled at managing clients’ associations and coalitions. We also have extensive experience helping our clients build coalitions, when necessary, for their advocacy purposes. We collaborate with our partners to increase and maximize the effectiveness of industry trade associations. By building consensus among the varied opinions of like-minded companies and organizations, we are able to integrate their collective interests into public policy.
