Strategic Communications

When navigating high-stakes policy, political, or public perception challenges, we deliver the insight and strategic relationships needed to get results.

The Zierhut Group delivers solutions built on years of experience in government relations, public affairs, and political strategy across California and beyond. Our clients rely on us for our deep understanding of the political landscape, our ability to build coalitions, and our proven record of turning complex challenges into successful outcomes.


What’s the difference between government relations, public affairs, and public relations?

Government Relations is direct advocacy with elected officials and agencies to shape policy and outcomes.

Public Affairs builds the stakeholder and community support around those issues: coalitions, community outreach, and issue education.

Public Relations manages the public narrative: messaging, media relations, and reputation.

At The Zierhut Group, we integrate all three so clients from the Central Coast and Los Angeles to Sacramento and Washington, DC are effective with decision-makers, communities, and the public.
