it get done? When a crisis arises that requires immediate, full time attention,
who will be returning your call? Your future could hinge on answers to
questions just like these and how the firm you select values your business
relationship.

Government Affairs.
Providing
far more than just access, our government affairs experience spans House and
Senate Leadership and Committees at the Member and staff level, as well as
senior levels of the Executive Branch, giving our clients an unmatched ability
to work directly with decision-makers on key policy decisions. Whether your

Public Relations.
Most
firms end where we start. Message development, press conference coordination,
media training, stakeholder targeting and press kits are just the beginning of
the public relations services we offer. We pride ourselves on offering the next
generation of public relations services. We measure results not by clips and
references in the media, but by quality and consistency of message delivery to
reach your goals.
Strategic Consulting
The
combination of business and campaign backgrounds with government affairs savvy
puts Barquin Consulting Group in a unique position to offer our clients
strategic consulting on any matter that requires long term planning, message
development and project management.
Grassroots/Grasstops Development
With
people who have run some of the largest grassroots and grasstops movements in
the nation, we are expertly positioned to target constituencies and offer some
of the most innovative telemarketing, mail and Internet programs in the country
to rapidly and efficiently generate both short term and long term support or
opposition to any issue that affects our clients’ interests.
Third
party coalitions can be some of the most effective voices in a lobbying,
grassroots and issue campaign. However, effective coalitions don’t come
together by themselves. They are the result of sound planning and management
that comes from the experience of seeking out and developing national and local
networks to help meet our clients’ objectives.
Creative Media, Mail, Phones and Internet Communications
From
creative development to advertising production and media placement to advocacy
direct mail and telephones, we have initiated and deployed advertising on
political campaigns, issues campaigns and advocacy media in markets and
mailboxes across the country.

former staff and advisors to Presidents, Legislators, Governors and Mayors
across the region, Barquin Consulting Group offers specialized representation
services on issues important at the state and local level. Whether it’s federal
funding issues or complex policy initiatives at the state and local levels, we
can be your team or augment your team in
