Local Government Affairs
While it’s not necessarily true that all politics is local, it’s definitely true that there are always local politics. At IW Strategies, we specialize in negotiating the local political scene on our clients’ behalf. Local governments have incredible regulatory power, and it’s essential that businesses talk to the right players at the right time when making requests of those governments. Having worked in local politics and government affairs in northern Nevada for years, the IW Strategies team can make your interaction with local governments as smooth and simple as it can possibly be. |

State Government Affairs
At IW Strategies, we believe that developing and maintaining a relationship with the state government is a much bigger task than lobbying the Legislature for 120 days every two years. A strong state government affairs program is a year-round process dealing with not only legislators, but also the governor’s office, department heads and other boards and commissions. While IW Strategies has a successful track record of lobbying the Legislature for our clients’ interests, we believe it’s the time and effort we put in between the Legislative sessions that makes that success possible. |

Public Affairs
The most well-intentioned projects and well-meaning companies can be rejected or ignored amid a chorus of naysayers drowning out their message. IW Strategies specializes in identifying and refining the positive messages that will beat back that chorus and ensure the true issues are brought to the public’s attention. Misinformation and mismanagement are the two most destructive forces in a public affairs campaign. At IW Strategies we craft detailed message plans and outreach strategies to ensure those two forces never disrupt our efforts. |
