OUR SERVICES
We are all full-service Public Affairs firm with a focus on equipping clients to partner with public-sector agencies — federal, state, and local governments, as well as global multilateral entities — to accomplish their mission aims. Our founding focus, and principal business, involves assisting clients in winning and managing complex government contracts and grants in a variety of mission fields within the public sector. Because success in winning public-sector business depends on so much more than proficiency in the contracts process, however, we also are proud to offer a full suite of public-affairs support to our clients (no matter their mission focus), including in the fields of public and internal communication, government relations, and digital marketing. We invite you to explore our firm’s professional services in each of our four focus areas, each backed by decades of success:
-
Our Global Public Sector practice, the core of our business, supports clients in bidding for, winning, and implementing government contracts in the areas of defense, homeland security, technology, global development, and social services, including proposal writing and management, human resources, and financial and administrative management.
-
Our Communications practice guides you through corporate branding and industry positioning, crisis communication, media relations, speech writing and executive communication, and a variety of other strategic-communication objectives.
-
Our Government Relations practice brings decades of public-policy advocacy experience, relationships, and strategic leadership to your service, allowing you to work for concrete and measurable policy results.

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 public-sector partnerships and in the public square generally. Our passion is in merging technical proficiency with compelling narrative in order to maximize our clients' success in winning and maintaining pubic-sector business.
Two major values shape our client relationships:
-
Excellence in Client Service: We believe that all clients — whether Fortune 500 companies, nonprofit groups, or a small businesses — are entitled to professional support that meets the highest standards of their 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 Engagement: While contemporary discourse often treats ethical and transparent public engagement as a barrier to financial success, 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 financial success. 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 the public square should not be limited to those with large budgets, and we work to regularly identify pro-bono clients on the basis of shared values.
