“Lobbyit.com have proven to be a perfect fit for our government relations needs. We have a small government relations department covering all of North America at the federal, state and local levels. Their ability to bring our issues before the proper stakeholders has been impressive. They have helped us prepare the proper talking points to make sure our story is told and our issue addressed. I would highly recommend Lobbyit.com to represent any private sector or nonprofit organization before the federal government.”
A government relations firm, also called a government affairs firm, represents an organization’s interests to elected officials and federal agencies. It monitors legislation and regulation, builds relationships in Congress and the agencies, and advocates directly on the issues that affect you. Lobbyit is a Washington, D.C. government relations firm with published, month-to-month pricing.
“Government relations,” “government affairs,” and “lobbying” are used almost interchangeably. The practical difference is scope: lobbying is the specific, legally reportable act of advocating on legislation or regulation, while government relations and government affairs describe the broader work around it, monitoring, strategy, coalition building, and relationship management. A good government relations firm does all of it and reports back on exactly what was done on your behalf.
