What We Do

Parlance is a government relations and strategic communications consulting business that helps organizations influence government action and public opinion.

We empower organizations from every sector to effect change in their favor through:

• Knowledge: We understand the legislative process and ever-changing political dynamics. We know who has authority and who has influence—and how to reach these key actors.

• Planning: We work with you to develop a plan for engaging key government entities and communications media. We can coach you to develop your understanding of the policy landscape as well as to improve your speaking and presentation skills, enabling you to implement the plan successfully.

• Access: Once we identify your target audience and most appropriate modes of communication, we use our relationships to help you access them.

• Relationships: We help you cultivate and maintain the relationships you need in order to stay relevant and informed for the long-haul.

• Content: We can save you time by generating engaging content that gets the attention of people in power.

• Influence: We help build your organization’s influence in the relevant institutions every step of the way.

The policy landscape is complex, but with our knowledge and relationships at your disposal, you can minimize threats to your sustainability and maximize opportunities for growth. Trust us: your competitors probably are already doing so. Choose a comprehensive government and public relations strategy complete with content development, or select individual services à la carte.

Get in touch!

We know that retaining a professional to develop your government affairs or strategic communications plan is an important decision. That’s why we offer free consultations to discuss your goals and determine whether Parlance is the right firm for you.
