Federal Marketing and Grant Development

Knowledge is power when dealing with state and federal governments. This adage applies even more so when navigating the inherent bureaucracy within federal procurement and grant development programs. Knowing the process is as critical as access to influential people who can make or break an application for a grant or a bid on a contract. With a former senior government procurement executive on staff, and more than 20 years of experience in the field, Gateway Strategies can identify opportunities and achieve tangible results for government contractors and grant recipients. 

Corporate and Organizational Communication

In addition to helping you craft honest and strategic media messages, we can also assist and manage efforts to effectively communicate with one of your most important assets, your employees.  Open and honest communication within any organization breeds long term corporate success.  We can assist your organization and manage evolving technological tools available for effective internal communication.  Effective communication within an organization leads to increased employee morale, and in turn, helps bolster productivity and lessen costly employee turnover.

Crisis Management

When organizational and/or political crises occur, preparation and experience are vital.  We work with professionals within your organization to establish a crisis management plan to prepare and control an impending crisis situation. Our team can provide crucial direction and insight during crisis situations.  By doing so, we enable you to manage any potential damage to your business, and more importantly, your professional reputation. Proactive management of such situations can help minimize legislative and regulatory reaction and fall out.  

Diversity Planning

At Gateway Strategies, we understand the significance of diversity within a healthy work environment.  We are aware that diversifying your organization – from senior management to staff – spurs long term corporate success, and should not merely be use as a necessary measure to prevent lawsuits.  Gateway Strategies can enable you to take appropriate action to increase the diversity of the people you recruit and develop to ensure that your organization reflects the communities you serve.  Moreover, we can offer solutions to dilemmas or issues relative to a lack of sensitivity within your workplace.
