Expertise with impact
Navigating today’s fast-changing political landscape requires more than access to key decision-makers.
It takes trusted relationships, compelling storytelling, and the ability to mobilize the right voices at the right time. We provide comprehensive public affairs strategies to fit your unique needs and goals, backed by decades of proven experience.
Government relations
At Hilltop, we know that public policy is stronger when more voices are at the table. Advocacy is essential to a healthy democracy, and when stakeholders come prepared to engage the government and offer a solution, the results are more effective – even if there are ideological differences. We leverage relationships across all levels of government to help you advance your objectives. And with a proven track record in high-impact advocacy campaigns – as consultants and as volunteers – we know what captures attention and moves the needle.
Strategic planning
Your public affairs goals should advance, not sit apart from, your broader organizational strategy. At Hilltop, we start every engagement with thoughtful, integrated strategic planning. We work closely with your team to develop comprehensive public affairs plans your organization can implement confidently. This strategy serves as your roadmap, articulating your policy priorities, identifying key stakeholders, and taking tangible, measurable actions in your public engagement and policy efforts.
Training and capacity building
Sharpen your political engagement and elevate your advocacy through tailored workshops and training. At Hilltop, we design every session around your unique goals — helping you amplify your voice where it counts. Our training equips you with the tools to scale, professionalize, and energize your lobbying and public affairs strategies.
Strategic engagement
Build authentic relationships with the communities that shape your success. At Hilltop, we help you connect with thought leaders, organizations, and communities to build meaningful alliances that drive impact. In today’s complex public affairs environment, working in coalition — formally or informally — is essential to amplifying your voice and advancing shared goals. We help coalitions speak louder, act smarter, and drive impact together.
Integrated communications
Successful public affairs strategies are external, elevating your policy solution in the public domain, with media and with other stakeholders. From clear policy asks to strategic thought leadership and editorial content, we help you craft compelling communications that cut through the noise and help achieve your goals.
