Members of Congress, the White House, federal regulators, and other federal policy makers are bombarded with millions of messages a year from businesses, non-profit and consumer groups, membership organizations, and the public advocating views on thousands of different issues.  Many of these messages are misdirected, poorly expressed, ignore political realities, miss important media opportunities, and are often lost in the fog of competing interests.

How can your company's messages stand out?  How can your organization distinguish itself from the many competing interests in Washington?  Does your company need access to professional advocates who can round out your current advocacy efforts?  Should your company open and staff a Washington office, or hire expensive law, public relations, and grass roots firms to represent it?

Washington Word is an efficient and effective way for your company to communicate with federal elected representatives and government officials.  Washington Word can help your organization by:

Washington Word can help you understand and exert influence over Washington activities of importance to your business.  For example, how will proposed new privacy and electronic commerce proposals impact you?  Will regulatory initiatives or attempts to deregulate help or harm your business?  Are proposals being considered without your knowledge and input?  If policymakers don't hear from you and learn where your company stands, they cannot benefit from your perspective and may vote against your interests.

Whatever your company's needs - finding out what's going on, lobbying the Hill, or influencing the regulatory process - it's easy to advocate for your cause.  Through its affiliation with Usable News, Washington Word can even handle your public relations needs in Washington, DC and beyond.  With your input, the professionals at Washington Word will develop and implement tailor-made strategies to help you accomplish your legislative, regulatory, grassroots, and media objectives.
