“Lighthouse was a key partner in helping our North American natural gas pipeline go from the incubation stage to a commercial reality. We came to the firm needing expert advice on how to manage outreach efforts with Congress, the FERC and the various stakeholder interests affected by a major new capital project. Working with Lighthouse, we quickly deployed a strategy, came to know the major players and built broad support for the project, which received all its approvals and went into service in record time.”

Services
Our service areas include political risk and profile management with a focus on advocacy and lobbying campaigns. We also offer strategic communications, through opinion research, digital platforms, media relations and grassroots operations. In addition, we provide CEO, C-Suite and Board advisory services program and business development support. Last but not least, we oversee profile development and management for companies seeking a new Washington presence.
Strengths
Our strengths are managing advocacy campaigns in which business development and marketing strategies are enhanced—or threatened—by political or public policy drivers. We pride ourselves on being a “knowledge-based” firm that places a heavy emphasis on content, initiative, hustle, clear communications, and follow-through.
Briefly stated, our added value stems from three fundamentals:
- A dominant expertise in the politics of energy and the environment.
- A credo that who you know is the keyhole. What you know is the key.
- A powerful commitment to service and an incomparable work ethic.
Best People: Best Practices
Lighthouse has expanded its reach by growing alliance relationships with top-tier colleagues in Washington. We call this a Best People: Best Practices approach to meeting client needs.
In 2011 we launched our alliance with communications power house Purple Strategies. In 2012 we began a collaboration with prominent energy and environment expert Richard Goodstein. More recently we added the boutique tax firm Urban, Swirski & Associates (USA) to our family of alliance firms.
This constellation of seasoned professionals allows us to provide clients with a seamless approach for managing both brand and advocacy objectives in today’s 24/7/365 political climate.
