Services

Government Relations

At Mattox Woolfolk, we know that effective advocacy requires access coupled with knowledge and skill. Mattox Woolfolk has extensive experience in advising congressional committees on solutions to complex policy problems. We have identified funding sources and had funds appropriated for various projects. We have also successfully negotiated with federal regulatory agencies to meet the needs of businesses, universities and local governments.

We know that successful advocacy is always supported by solid research on who, what, when and how. Successful advocacy is also based on the ability to develop a clear and persuasive message. Mattox Woolfolk specializes in putting these pieces together and winning broad support for our clients' objectives.


Public Relations

In our time of 24-hour news cycles, policy and policymakers are often influenced by their media treatment. At Mattox Woolfolk, we integrate our advocacy with media strategies designed to build support for our clients' positions. We organize press conferences, draft opinion articles, issue statements, and prepare our clients for interviews and talk show appearances.
Crisis Management.

Mistakes are bound to be made. The worst mistake any organization can make is to not be prepared to respond when they occur. Mattox Woolfolk Partner Brian Woolfolk advised Members and congressional staff on strategic responses to various issues relating to the Impeachment of President William Jefferson Clinton. Based on experiences resulting from some very tough battles, we are well equipped to develop a successful campaign that combines the traits of integrity, respect and responsibility to rehabilitate even the most battered images.

Strategic Relations

In our experience, we have learned that the skills used in developing effective advocacy campaigns are transferable to other initiatives. In these times of public/ private partnerships, downsizing, and restructuring, the government has yielded significant influence to the private sector. The solutions to many problems require lobbying companies or organizations, instead of or in addition to lobbying the government. At Mattox Woolfolk we have developed a strategic relations service modeled on the traditional government relations approach in which we will provide consulting services for clients interested in effecting a change or influencing the policy of a non-governmental organization.

In addition, we offer a community relations service to encourage support for an organization's initiatives. Oftentimes, businesses are too late to discover that they have neglected community concerns. Large environmental and economic development projects routinely experience these types of challenges. Ignoring community interests is a very costly and avoidable mistake. It pays to have experienced professionals working to ensure that communities are supportive of your projects.

 

 

 

Grassroots Campaign Management

The foundation of our democracy is the will of its people. Unfortunately, this can sometimes be lost in the minutia and legalese of formal government processes. At Mattox Woolfolk, we realize that there is often a compelling need to generate popular, outside-the-beltway support for our efforts in Washington, DC. We encourage citizen involvement in our campaigns by drafting legislative alerts, training volunteers, conducting briefings, and organizing letter writing and e-mail campaigns. We have also planned our share of rallies to encourage the expression of grassroots sentiment. We look forward to discussing how a grassroots campaign could be helpful to your organization.
