We create ground-breaking and multi-faceted communications campaigns to shape public opinion, raise awareness and change attitudes, promote social and policy initiatives, manage issues and build reputations.

For some clients, we're a full-service firm, providing strategy, communications management, and creative services, such as policy research and messaging. Other times, we're brought in by existing general consultants to fill a particular need - such as website and social media management.

A grassroots program is the breadth and depth of the field network supporting it. Whether you want to knock on doors, make phone calls, or host rallies we can provide the data you need using our exclusive  Nth Power™ database.

From websites and social media to phone banking and block walking, our grassroots practice makes sure your message reaches the right people with maximum effectiveness.

Whether you are a first-time candidate or a well-seasoned politician, it is imperative that when voters see your face or hear your name, they have a positive feeling about you and your campaign.

The Rivas Group can make this happen by controlling your image in the community through events, op-eds, speeches, press opportunities, and a variety of other avenues.  We will make sure that voters see you as someone they understand, trust, and believe in.

For every candidate issues arise from time to time that need to be dealt with in a delicate but swift manner.

The Rivas Group knows that when these issues occur, it is important to respond appropriately, but not without first considering the long-term implications the event will have on the campaign or your image.  We will help you weather the storm as quickly and as effectively as possible.

Our customized media training sessions will teach you how to confidently deliver an effective interview when facing even the toughest interviewers. Through extensive on camera training, interactive exercises and real-life examples, we will teach you how just a few minutes of focused preparation prior to each interview can virtually guarantee you better results.

Prior to your  Media Training, we'll study the issues affecting your campaign to develop a set of practice interview questions directly relevant to your day-to-day life. We currently offer two different training programs:

Media Training Workshop - Available as a half-day workshop. Best for one-on-one trainings or small group sessions.

Message Development and Refinement Workshops - Available as a half-day workshop, this session is best to develop messages for specific campaigns or entire organizations.
