Our Specialty Is Advancing Strategic Policy Objectives Across Multiple States
50 to 1 is an efficient way to out-source state government affairs management. Our clients include Fortune 500 companies and major trade associations. For more than 20 years, our principals have managed the state lobbying needs of clients at every scale.
We are unique in our space, with the ability to move quickly with a nimble and creative approach when client’s reaction time in a crisis is short.
Clients value that speed and agility but choose us long-term for the advanced strategic approach focused on years-long policy planning and return on investment (ROI).
Our firm has close relationships with other lobbyists, public affairs strategists, and campaign experts throughout the country, and we leverage these relationships to our clients’ benefit in all 50 states.
We have significant experience designing and managing large regional and national campaigns, and we frequently help our clients with smaller lobbying efforts. We scale up or down our clients’ campaigns as necessary and work closely with our clients throughout the process to ensure that we target solutions custom-tailored to their needs.
A Modern Approach to Lobbying, Advocacy, and Public Engagement
Why Fortune 500 Companies and Trade Associations Nationwide Choose Us
Our History
We have been well-known within lobbying circles for more than 20 years, and we have forged deep relationships with legislators, public officials, and other strategists and experts. In the lobbying sphere, relationships matter, and we have them in spades.
Our Modern Approach
While we have a long history of executing successful campaigns at the state and local levels, we are far from a traditional lobbying firm. On the contrary, we take a modern approach that combines conventional lobbying efforts with public engagement campaigns that support these efforts—both on the ground and online. We helped pioneer that process, and we know how to use it for our clients’ success.
Our Speed and Agility
We adhere to a nimble and results-driven approach. Clients need it to win, whether they need us to target a solution in a specific jurisdiction or task us to organize and manage a nationwide advocacy campaign. In every engagement, our goal is to achieve our client’s objectives as efficiently as possible.
Our Return on Investment
The focus on being nimble and efficient allows us to achieve substantial returns on our clients’ investments. At the outset of the process, we work closely with our clients to identify their goals and organize their budgets. Then we execute strategic campaigns that are specifically designed to maximize value for our clients.
