OUR VALUES

At Commonwealth Public Sector Strategies, we believe that everyone has a story to tell, and that these stories are the gateway to success in every professional field.  Our passion, and our business, is to help our clients tell their stories and shape the conversations around them.  

Two major values shape our business model:

  • Excellence in Client Service:   We believe that every client — whether a Fortune 500 company, a nonprofit group, or a small business — is entitled to professional public-affairs support that meets the highest standards of the profession.  We believe in establishing clear and measurable goals in every client relationship, and in holding ourselves accountable for delivering on those goals.

  • Ethical Public Discourse and Engagement:  While contemporary public discourse often treats successful communication and ethical communication as mutually exclusive, we maintain that precisely the opposite is true.  The highest ethical standards of public engagement — clarity, truthfulness, civility, and transparency — are also the hallmarks of successful persuasion.  We are confident this is the best business strategy for our clients and for ourselves.

We organize our firm's operations around these two core values, believing that our long-term relationships with our clients, and the fruits of those relationships for them and us, should drive our pursuit of excellence in the field of public affairs.

Finally, our commitment to public service impels us  to provide at least 15% of our firm's services to worthy clients on a pro-bono basis.   We believe strongly that the ability to influence public affairs and engage one's constituency should not be limited to those with large budgets, and we work to regularly identify pro-bono clients on the basis of shared values.
