This year, Global Strategy Group (GSG) proudly celebrates its 30th anniversary, marking three decades of impactful wins for the nation’s leading businesses, advocacy organizations, and Democratic leaders. Founded in New York City in 1995 from Grandma Rose’s apartment by political strategists Jon Silvan (CEO) and Jefrey Pollock (President), GSG has evolved into a full-service strategic communications powerhouse, headquartered in New York City, with offices in Washington D.C. and across the U.S., and a part of the SEC Newgate – a global communications company. The firm has garnered numerous accolades, including being named PRovoke Media’s Public Affairs Agency of the Year twice, AAPC’s Pollster of the Year twice, PRWeek’s 2024 Public Affairs Campaign of the Year, and #1 on Observer’s 2024 PR Power list.
Recognized as a top pollster in Democratic politics for several decades, GSG has helped elect dozens of Governors, Senators, U.S. Representatives, Mayors, and other elected officials across the country. Many notable public officials have relied on GSG from their earliest days in public life to the heights of power – including Governor Josh Shapiro (PA) from his first race for State Representative in 2004 and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) from her first Congressional campaign in 2006. GSG has also led messaging strategy and ballot initiatives on important issues facing our country including reproductive rights, gun violence prevention, and the environment.
“For thirty years, GSG has been the go-to firm for hard-fought victories,” said Founding Partner & President Jefrey Pollock. “Our fierce devotion to our clients, our top tier talent and our roll up our sleeves and get it done attitude has made GSG what we are today.”
GSG has consistently emerged as a key advisor to companies, organizations, and their leaders, in solving some of the most pressing business challenges of the day. Across sectors like health care, finance, energy and technology, to name a few, GSG communication experts partner with clients to change narratives and minds, achieve legislative wins, and build and protect reputations. Over the years, clients have included MGM Resorts, H&R Block, T-Mobile, Comcast, Netflix, Citi, Google, the Las Vegas Raiders, the Rockefeller Foundation, Teach for America, and many others.
“We are immensely proud of what the GSG team has accomplished over the past three decades,” said Founding Partner & CEO Jon Silvan. “Now over 150 strong, we are a fully integrated agency, uniting subject matter experts and communications professionals alongside pollsters, data scientists, and an award-winning in-house creative team that makes Madison Avenue-level content accessible to public affairs clients.”
As GSG commemorates its 30th anniversary, the agency will share stories of innovation, resilience and commitment throughout the year, highlighting clients and colleagues, and the things that make GSG one of the nation’s most sought-after consultancies.
