Team

The Arc Initiatives team has played a key role in winning the most important elections and advocacy campaigns of this century. From Barack Obama’s historic primary run in 2008 – and throughout his administration and re-election – to President Biden’s win in 2020.

 

Along the way, we’ve supported more than a half dozen presidential candidates and many more congressional, senate, and gubernatorial races. We’ve advised Fortune 100 companies, trade groups, global foundations, and even foreign heads of state. Our team has managed countless advocacy and marketing campaigns that have reached and moved target audiences, and changed the narrative arc to achieve our clients’ most ambitious goals.

Services

When it comes to shaping the arc of an issue, we understand to our core the intersection of policy and politics. We’ve been on the inside in key roles in the government and on candidate campaigns. But we’ve also led and advised independent expenditure organizations, NGOs, non-profits, think tanks, and frontline activists. We’ve seen all sides of issue-based and political fights and understand where the leverage lies. And we can help design a campaign that maximizes your influence to advance the progress you need.
