We help leaders, businesses, and organizations navigate complex political and communications challenges—and win.
What We Do
-
We build and lead communications campaigns that help clients achieve their strategic objectives.
We use data and research to help hone your message and then create and execute a plan to make sure it’s heard by the right audiences. Our firm builds campaigns that utilize a wide array of tactics, such as paid, digital, and traditional media, earned media and media relations, social media and influencer strategies, ethnic and community media placements, podcast interviews and TV talk show bookings, spokesperson training, and coalition and stakeholder management.
-
Our firm has built and managed dozens of communications campaigns to help shape legislative outcomes in state legislatures across the country.
As the chief national communications firm for the Sports Betting Alliance, Click Strategies works with lobbying and political teams across the country to achieve political outcomes while driving national communications strategy for the organization that has secured sports betting legalization victories across 38 states.
With deep California roots, Click Strategies is the go-to firm for clients requiring communications support in Sacramento, at Los Angeles City Hall, and across state and local government. We work closely with client legal and government relations teams, lobbyists, policy experts, and industry coalitions to ensure your message is heard by decision makers.
-
We are leaders in state ballot measure campaigns, having spearheaded communications for some of the nation’s highest-profile and most expensive ballot fights year after year.
Our team provides comprehensive campaign communications support, guiding initiatives from inception to victory and advises funders on how to win. Utilizing polling and data-driven insights, we craft messages that convert perception into votes.
-
We build and protect reputations through proactive strategies that strengthen credibility and public trust.
-
Politics is always changing. Issue landscapes shift radically from session to session. Decision makers change. Conventional wisdom flips.
Relying on outdated legislative or political strategies can actually hinder your chances of achieving your goals. We bring these changes to clients’ attention and advise them as they engage politically.
No communications firm is closer to the action in California. For clients seeking multi-state communications support on legislative and regulatory issues, we bring deep knowledge and close ties to the top political practitioners in state capitols across the country - from Republican-led states in the Deep South to Democratic strongholds in the Northeast.
-
We work alongside legal teams to shape public narratives, manage media coverage, and ensure key stakeholders understand the broader implications of a case.
Whether it’s crisis messaging, reputation defense, or advocacy outreach, we develop targeted strategies that align legal objectives with public perception.
