Our Team
Our Causes
Our past, present, and future.
1992
From our start in political consulting in 1992, we’ve understood that winning in the marketplace of ideas means resonating emotionally with your target audiences.
2000s
As corporations faced new multi-channel communications challenges, they sought our expertise in market research and strategic communications to help reframe issues, overcome crises, and connect with customers.
2010s
We launched a suite of strategic consulting tools and introduced new research methods—the only firm of our kind using language as the foundation for solving business challenges.
Today
We’re pioneering ways to leverage the power of data transformation and AI to enable our clients to deploy language strategy faster, more consistently, and more accurately.
While our work continues to evolve, our guiding philosophy remains resolute:
It's not what you say,
It's what they hear.®
