Mobilizing stakeholders, building issue-based coalitions, developing grassroots organizations and influencing public policy are essential parts of doing business successfully.
DW Turner not only maintains close relations with thought leaders at the federal, state and municipal levels—it monitors the public policy landscape across a wide range of industry areas. We provide, among other tactics:
Federal Policy
Empowering clients who face a tough federal legislative or regulatory challenge is something DW Turner does particularly well. We utilize our team’s extensive Washington experience and our ‘campaign school’ style tactics to achieve winning results while the competition’s still trying to figure out who’s on first.
Winning in the U.S. involves doing your homework. At DW Turner, we prefer to begin a program or campaign with a particularly in-depth strategy session to tactics that will best leverage a well crafted strategic communications and advocacy plan.
Yet we also move quickly, and pride ourselves on our up-front commitment to measurable results where appropriate. What sets us further apart is a multi-faceted, often indirect approach that brings the right
stories, messages and people to bear in just the right time and place.
Our successes have included passage of landmark legislation, messaging for senior congressional leadership, third party advocacy through 501(c)3 and 501(c)4 NGOs, work on successful presidential and congressional elections, and even amici participation in an upset win before the U.S. Supreme Court.
State & Local Policy
State capitols and city halls are familiar turf for
DW Turner, where our expertise and innovation in the grass-roots and local thought leader ‘ground game’ have consistently made the winning difference for our clients, whether Fortune 500 or start-ups.
DW Turner’s expertise and unparalleled success include uphill campaigns and initiatives in the desert southwest, California, and throughout the Rockies as well as successful work in 50-state outreach and mobilization.
Insightful analysis and creative strategies have been hallmarks of our success for clients in even the toughest state or local circumstances. And our proven approach that integrates public affairs, media relations, paid media, corporate social responsibility, community engagement and social media (as well as other tools) means that our clients see winning results in state capitols, city halls, tribal venues and other local settings.
And we bring our background and expertise in campaign strategy and tactics to bear between elections by applying a full menu of services to policy debates. Polling, messaging, media relations, grass-roots work, thought leader alliance development, direct mail, radio, TV and social media are combined and timed in strategic ways to deliver winning results when the deck seems stacked against our clients.
