OUR ADVANTAGE
IS YOUR ADVANTAGE
Advantage Associates International is a closely held corporation, staffed principally by former Members of the United States Congress. We specialize in helping clients with governmental, political and international matters. Our principals have broad experience and extensive knowledge of all aspects of politics and government policy.
Advantage knows it is important to have a consultant who understands how changes in Washington are really made and knows what impact they could have on your interests. There are tremendous advantages to being a former Member of Congress: access to key policymakers and leaders, a special understanding of the complex procedures involved.
Advantage assists clients in developing and executing bipartisan legislative strategies, opening doors and providing information and insight into current legislation and government policy.
Advantage also has partners who served in key positions within important federal agencies in the Executive Branch. These partners advise clients on regulatory, administrative, and policy issues and plan strategies to achieve a client’s stated objectives.
Advantage understands that it is increasingly more complex for Advantage to deal with the federal government. To succeed, a business needs an insider’s understanding of the Washington process, high-level contacts and a strategy that understands the way Washington really operates.
Advantage helps to answer these needs by building on its years of experience with a very sincere goal of making the process work for you.
WITH ADVANTAGE, YOU WILL HAVE A TEAM OF FORMER MEMBERS OF CONGRESS PROTECTING YOUR INTERESTS IN GOVERNMENT AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
