Almost three decades ago, Public Strategies, Inc., created the public affairs model that has become the standard for today. Beginning with numerous statewide campaigns, our firm successfully worked with corporations and associations to achieve results by applying a political campaign focus to their corporate initiatives. We pride ourselves on being the most-trusted communications adviser for our clients, using our deep roots in public affairs, grassroots and mobilization to truly lead the conversation about our clients’ goals. We offer the Public Risk Assessment tool that determines the nature of a company’s relationship with the public, as well as the associated potential risks and opportunities; the Public Opinion Marketing tool, which guides and leverages public thinking; and the Media Intelligence tool for media coverage, articles, email alerts, tracking, and archiving. It serves corporations, nonprofit organizations, associations, and professional firms. Public Strategies, Inc. was founded in 1988 and is based in Austin, Texas with additional offices in Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio, Texas; London, the United Kingdom; Mexico City, Mexico; New York, New York; Orlando, Florida; and Washington, District Of Columbia. As of August 1, 2006, Public Strategies, Inc. is a subsidiary of WPP Group plc. As of 2011, Public Strategies, Inc. merged with Hill & Knowlton to become what is now Hill+Knowlton Strategies.
