Government and public affairs
The local, national and international regulatory landscape has a dramatic impact on business. Erratic administrations can make compliance difficult and hamper your ability to predict business conditions. Policy changes can open up valuable new opportunities for your company or torpedo existing business. COVID-19 proved that regulations can change overnight.

Employee advocacy
At MacAllen Media & Public Affairs, we’re experts in employee advocacy. High-touch, personal outreach is a great way to be heard on Capitol Hill. Look at these comments from different Congressional staffers from a recent Open Gov Foundation survey:
“I hate to say that people have to fly across the country, but it really does have more of an effect.”
“I have a folder on my desk of unique, moving, personal stories for the Member to review and respond to by hand.”
“It’s definitely much easier/better to reach us on social media but we don’t want to tell people this because we’ll get bombarded.”
That means, if you’re a US employer, you have an amazing resource at your fingertips — your people. Asking your employees to be advocates in Washington (or face-to-face in their Congressional district) clearly makes an impact on policymakers. Social media outreach also gets lawmakers’ attention. Of course, it can also bring awareness to specific issues among the public at large.
Let us help you understand how to mobilize employees for effective advocacy at the local, state, national and international level.
