Government Relations

Every day government makes decisions with far reaching implications to businesses, industries, and municipalities. Having a presence is a critical component in advocating on your behalf to important stakeholders and elected officials. Having the right partner by your side will provide access to key decision makers, ensure timely responses to government actions impacting your organization, and can facilitate beneficial earmarks, stimulus funding, and/or positive regulatory changes. See how our clearly defined deliverables can help your organization find success in North Carolina.

Public Relations

To the people most passionate about a specific issue in North Carolina and surrounding areas, the scale of their campaign –⁠ whether local or national –⁠ doesn’t matter. After decades of leading the effort on a wide range of campaigns and initiatives from the municipal to the national arena, we always apply the same energy, insight, and expertise –⁠ no matter the venue.

The words you choose during a crisis situation are critical. Effective messaging, timing, and management can help protect, repair, and promote your reputation. Our strategic counsel in North Carolina and surrounding areas provides a way forward for companies, associations, and individuals to reassure employees, stakeholders, legislators, regulators, and the general public during times of trouble. Queen City Communications Group often pairs with a client’s legal team to identify opportunities to mitigate damage and promote messages that protect the corporate brand.

Campaign Management

Our team has years of experience at both the legislative and executive branches of state and federal government, and our success is grounded in the relationships we cultivate with key policymakers. We understand how the legislative process works, and use that knowledge to influence policy decisions on matters of importance to our clients. No matter the issue, we ensure a remarkable level of preparation and knowledge of policy issues, and use this to persistently and effectively represent our clients.
