ADVOCATING AT THE INTERSECTION OF
MEDIA, POLITICS & POLICY
WHAT WE DO:
PR & PUBLIC AFFAIRS
PUBLIC RELATIONS
By refining your message through research, using our trusted relationships with media from Michigan to D.C. and telling your story through interviews, podcast, press conferences, groundbreakings, and more, we get results.
SOCIAL MEDIA & DIGITAL
ADVERTISING
Using business intelligence and data to target your storytelling to the correct audiences in a world of noise is vital to successful messaging campaigns.
PUBLIC
AFFAIRS
Our team helps with issue management by building bipartisan coalitions of citizens and organizations, conducting ballot initiatives and more to communicate with key decision makers from Lansing to Washington.
CRISIS COMMS & REPUTATION MANAGEMENT
Facing a comms crisis requires a combo of speed and experience that Harbor's team gained in years of advising businesses and political leadership. Anticipating problems and building reputations in good times is a must.
LAW &
COURTS
Harbor's experience with legal communications is unequaled after serving two state attorneys general in criminal and civil cases, and working to achieve justice for survivors of abuse in small & large cases.
CLIENTS COUNT ON US.
FROM TC TO DC.
Harbor Strategic judges success based on winning. Our team has deep experience working with important public policy issues, including tech, data centers, energy, healthcare, taxation & regulation, education, tourism and hospitality, and local government.
OUR WORK
Tech & Commerce
Don't Tax MI Delivery
For people with disabilities, seniors and more, delivery is essential. We helped stop tax policy that could have priced this service out of their reach, limiting their independence.
Tourism
National Cherry Festival
Michigan is a world leader in cherry production and the annual National Cherry Festival generates over $30 million in economic activity around Traverse City and beyond.
Roads & Infrastructure
Build It Michigan Strong
Michigan's roads are getting fixed but inflationary costs are eating into our budgets. We created a bipartisan labor and business coalition to support a new statewide aggregates permitting plan.
Hospitality Industry
Save MI Tips
After out-of-state activists jeopardized the income and job security of restaurant servers and bartenders, Harbor rallied workers to get a new bipartisan law in place.
Local Government
Grand Blanc Strong
After an unthinkable tragedy, the eyes of the nation turned to Grand Blanc Township, whose residents united & became a community defined by how they cared for each other.
Fighting For Justice
Sexual Assault Survivors
The survivors of sexual assault are lobbying for legal reforms allowing them to pursue justice in the courtroom. Harbor helped them be heard at the Capitol Building.
Energy
MI Success Coalition
Michigan must take control of cutting-edge carbon capture policy to create jobs and protect the environment, as competing states fight for economic development projects.
Economic Development
Flint Commerce Center
Harbor helped publicize the rebirth of the famed Buick City industrial site in Flint, as a Michigan firm leads the redevelopment of brownfields, creating jobs and hope.
