BGR Group, a leading bipartisan lobbying and public relations firm based in Washington, D.C., has announced a new partnership with Consilium Consulting, a policy advocacy firm located in Phoenix. This collaboration aims to provide clients with comprehensive advocacy expertise by combining the resources of both firms.
Consilium will operate as BGR’s Phoenix office, joining its network that includes offices in Austin, Texas; Atlanta, Georgia; and Nashville, Tennessee. The partnership is set to offer integrated advocacy, lobbying, and communications services across the United States.
Kirk Adams, founder of Consilium and former Arizona Speaker of the House, will take on the role of Managing Director at BGR Group. “BGR’s federal and state lobbyists have been working with Kirk Adams and the bipartisan Consilium team for the last year on a wide range of issues ranging from health care to economic development,” stated Bob Wood, Chairman and CEO of BGR Group. He expressed enthusiasm about Adams joining BGR and looked forward to enhancing support for clients in Arizona and beyond.
Adams emphasized the strategic growth focus of Consilium: “Consilium has a track record for achieving results for our clients. We are laser-focused on strategic growth to advance our client priorities.” He also noted that BGR Group is an ideal partner due to its recognition as a top-performing firm regardless of political control.
Christina Corrieri, President of Consilium Consulting, shared her excitement about expanding their federal presence through this partnership: “We look forward to working with BGR to grow our federal presence and utilize our deep knowledge of state and local government to help clients prosper in Arizona.”
Loren Monroe, Principal at BGR and Head of State and Local Advocacy Practice, highlighted Arizona’s business-friendly environment as an attractive factor for clients: “Arizona is increasingly a priority destination for clients due to its business-friendly economy with low regulatory and tax burdens.”
