The strategy centered on providing deep intelligence regarding key decision-makers and influencers across all levels of government—State, Municipal, and Federal. This allowed for the facilitation of high-level advocacy and the building of long-term alliances with critical external voices, including local communities, industry analysts, and influential media commentators.​

• As a direct result of this integrated communications and advocacy effort, the multi-billion dollar project transitioned smoothly into the development phase, effectively neutralizing competitive threats.​
