Why an INDEPENDENT Agency?
Being independent means we start with the needs and goals of the client — not the needs and goals of an internal corporate hierarchy.
We know there’s more than one way to succeed, because we are free-thinkers and collaborate closely with our clients. Here at INDEPENDENT Public Affairs, there are no “off the shelf” campaign plans. Each is developed in close consultation with the client. We work with you to identify your audience, the objective and then develop the unique messages and tactics that will drive your success.
We Know Planning Works
As public affairs professionals, we have a bias toward planning, because after a combined 52 years in the business, we know planning works.
At IPA, you will have people working for you who are strategic thinkers. And while we are strategists and counselors, we are also the kind of people who roll up their sleeves and dig into the work. Your campaign will get personal, partner-level attention at every stage, as we go from “whiteboard to keyboard” — first developing, then managing, your campaign.
Capabilities
Our core competencies are campaign communications and campaign management. We plan, create and execute public affairs campaigns designed to reach a specific objective — win an election, pass (or block or change) legislation or regulation, deliver a message targeted to just a few people, or deliver a message targeted to the masses

Who We Are
We are a team of professional campaigners — writers, managers and strategists — with more than 52 years of combined experience in politics, policy and media.
The people behind INDEPENDENT Public Affairs have managed statewide political campaigns, worked as journalists at the world’s largest news-gathering organizations, served as chief aides on Capitol Hill, launched non-profit initiatives, and directed public affairs for some of Washington’s best-known industrial trade associations.
We can help you develop a political brand, manage that brand, and influence critical audiences for maximum impact. We’ve written countless speeches, policy papers, op-eds, situation analyses, Congressional testimony, grassroots engagement plans, public comments, news releases and paid-media scripts.
