Organizations navigating complex policy challenges need more than messaging or lobbying alone. They need a strategy that aligns policy knowledge, strategic communications, and engagement with decision-makers to advance their objectives.
GCM Strategies helps businesses, trade associations, advocacy organizations, and nonprofits influence the decisions in Washington that affect them.
Many firms understand policy but struggle to communicate it effectively. Others specialize in messaging but lack insight into how policymakers evaluate complex issues. GCM Strategies integrates policy expertise, strategic communications, and firsthand understanding of government to help clients make credible, persuasive arguments in Washington.
Founded in 2020, GCM Strategies draws on more than two decades of experience at the intersection of policy, communications, and government. Founder Garrett Murch has served in senior communications roles in the United States Senate and worked across Capitol Hill, policy organizations, media, public relations, and strategic communications.
