Getting the right message
to the right people.
welcome
Smith Public Affairs is in the business of helping our clients succeed. Your goal may be winning a government contract. Or it may be getting the government to let you conduct your business without unreasonable intervention.
Whatever the goal, whether you are interested in government as a customer, a client, or a partner, you need to know your target audience and be able to get your message across to them.
At Smith Public Affairs we’ve built our business on three proven principles:
1. Know the rules of the game.
We have over 25 years experience in Orange County politics and government, so we know the protocol that must be followed in order to be heard. Because we’ve been there, we know what happens behind the scenes. We also know the organizational history of Orange County.
We can help level the playing field.
2. Know the players.
The principals of Smith Public Affairs have spent more than two dozen years working with elected officials and public sector staff in Orange County. That includes the Board of Supervisors, the Orange County Transportation Authority and the Transportation Corridor Agencies, Special Districts, the Fire Authority, and various Orange County cities. We know the players.
3. Have a game plan.
Our history working with government means we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. We’ve experienced first-hand the changes in local government operations and protocol in recent years. Consequently, we can help develop a strategy to reach the right people, with the right messages, at the right time.
