Integrated Public Affairs and Advocacy
Matana Consulting Group helps organizations shape public policy, build influence, and move issues forward through integrated public affairs and advocacy, focused on the state and local level.
We bring together policy analysis, government relations, strategic communications, coalition building, community and stakeholder engagement, and advocacy to develop strategies grounded in how power actually operates.
OUR APPROACH
We do not start by asking which service you need.
We start by asking what you are trying to change.
From there, we determine which tools, relationships, and strategies can move the work forward—and how they should work together.
A policy campaign may require legislative strategy and grassroots pressure. A regulatory fight may depend on research, communications, and relationships with decision-makers. A coalition may need a shared strategy before it can act collectively.
The approach depends on the problem.
Matana serves as an external public affairs and advocacy partner, providing the strategy and execution organizations need without requiring them to build an entire team in-house.
Our work can include government relations, policy and research, strategic communications, coalition and stakeholder engagement, grassroots advocacy, and digital advocacy.
Navigate legislative and regulatory processes, build key relationships, and advance policy priorities in state and local government.
