Lobbyit.com became our lobbying firm at the start of November 2012. Prior to then the Brick Industry Association (BIA) had a full time employee in charge of government relations. After interviewing traditional lobbying firms, qualified individuals and firms similar to Lobbyit, it became apparent to me that Lobbyit.com offered the services desired by BIA at the best price. The Lobbyit staff’s positive and action-oriented attitude was the convincing attribute.
Lobbyit communicates effectively with my staff and members and has received accolades
from them. I can say without equivocation that Lobbyit.com has surpassed what I expected
and I give them a most deserved and excellent recommendation.J. Gregg Borchelt

We began by introducing the association to key members and staff of the House and Senate Transportation & Infrastructure majority and minority committees and thanks to the work of Lobbyit.com, within twelve short months we have dramatically increased our visibility on the Hill. We are now busy honing our once broad message to a targeted advocacy strategy with Paul’s guidance, engaging our key volunteer leaders and senior staff in the process.
We are delighted with the responsiveness and effectiveness of Lobbyit.com. They are proven professionals and high impact players for the IRWA.
