For many organizations, Government is likely your biggest client. Government has the potential to create policy and financial decisions that could impact your business overnight. While legacy government affairs offerings highlight a myopic 'who you know' strategy, Strategos Group's believes it is equally important to integrate 'what you know' as a foundational approach to meaningfully engaging with Government leaders.
Subject matter expertise and deep policy knowledge set our firm apart. Our team of former Commissioners of Education, Legislators, and policy experts serve as a thirty-party validator and trusted voice for our clients. Understanding and operating within the boundaries of the government system is both an art and a skill - utilizing a team that can simplify that process allows your organization to succeed in your policy and funding objectives.

National Advocacy Management
Advocacy Campaign Oversight
Many companies are searching for ways to better navigate the dynamic policy environments from state to state. Since education policy is unique to other industries, identifying advocates who know the complexities of the educational landscape is critical to success. Led by early learning advocate and former Florida State Representative Vance Aloupis, Strategos Group’s National Advocacy Management (NAM) practice provides a comprehensive, personalized strategy for education companies searching to expand a multi-state advocacy approach.
Rather than the typical referral network with plug-and-play lobbyists nationwide, NAM centers on a dedicated set of professionals focused on understanding clients' needs, the issues of highest demand, and the nuanced landscape within every state. From there, data identifiers match state and company interests, funneling down to align the best advocate for a particular client’s issue and plugging them into a more extensive national campaign.
NAM cuts through a crowded market, maximizing visibility and access for clients to find superior solutions. A bird's-eye view is often necessary to manage an ever-changing market landscape. NAM provides the foresight to enter new market niches before saturation, offering the wisdom to pivot from unsuitable environments.
