What We Do

  • In the halls of government, experience, reputation and relationships matter—and we bring dozens of years of knowledge and a track record of professionalism to help clients shape policies, secure funding and navigate regulatory hurdles.

  • Developing compelling narratives, managing media relations and crafting crisis communication strategies to elevate and protect your public image.

  • We do complicated well. We align organizational goals with actionable plans, leveraging local insights and industry expertise to achieve measurable success.

  • Politics is the art of persuasion—often best carried out through the strategic partnerships we excel at, drawing on decades of engagement with business, labor and local and regional community groups and political organizations.

  • We use data analysis, communication savvy, relationships and familiarity to identify, reach and inform key constituencies and ignite action.

  • We master the art of telling stories and shaping debates via earned and paid media techniques—carried out by award-winning creative talent.

  • We produce high-impact media — TV, digital and print — and manage effective placements that move the needle with public opinion and decision-makers.

"In the over 20 years they have been in business, BMWL has proven to be a leader in the industry and they continue to set the bar.  

They use cutting edge media, innovative thinking and deep personal relationships to win for their clients.

I’m more than happy to recommend my friends at BMWL.”
