Helping Our Clients Advocate Their Issues
Our unique understanding of the intersection of policy and politics enables the MITA Group to develop targeted programs for our business, international and association clients. MITA Group partners have designed and implemented successful government affairs programs for Fortune 500 corporations, foreign governments and trade associations but can tailor our services to fit the unique needs of each client.
Combining our business and policy expertise with our understanding of the ever changing political environment, we are able to translate our clients’ issues into terms that resonate with Congressional and Administration decision makers. Our approach to lobbying and political development marries strategy, tactics, messaging and execution to help our clients achieve their business policy and political objectives.
Federal Government Relations & Lobbying
We work with our clients to understand their political and policy objectives goals and the resources that can impact the public policy arena. Utilizing this understanding, we develop and implement tailored lobbying and political strategies to help our clients achieve their legislative, regulatory, and political objectives. These strategies will include message development, identification of key pressure points within the decision making process, direct advocacy and information-gathering from the Congress, Cabinet and regulatory agencies, and the White House.
Issue Management & Tracking
The MITA Group uses a combination of technology and relationships to follow issues as they progress through the political process, enabling us to anticipate government actions and proactively respond in our client’s best interest. We have the ability to take complex issues and develop targeted strategies and programs that are designed to educate and inform key policy and political leaders of issues relevant to our client’s business. This process includes researching our client’s issues, developing communication plans, targeting public policy events, and identifying corporate resources that our clients can bring to bear throughout the process.
Political Branding
The MITA Group leverages a client’s industry position and resources to build programs that will increase their profile and effectiveness in the federal government and political arenas. These programs are designed to position the client as a critical source of knowledge for government leaders while supporting the client’s legislative, regulatory and business objectives. This program can work for the company that has never had a presence in Washington, DC as well as the firm that is so focused on the specific legislative battles of the day that they loose sight of the need for a long term political strategy.
The MITA Group helps our clients develop contacts throughout the political establishment, cultivating new messages and relationships for the future. Developing political programs now allows our clients to lay the political foundation that could augment their business objectives over the medium and long terms.

Similarly, the MITA Group can provide American companies with risk analysis and access to top decision makers in foreign markets.
