[Smith & Harroff is the] "Best of the best."

-- The Hill

Identifying the most effective message, reaching the right audiences and working with the media can be daunting communications tasks. Positive results are most often achieved through research, careful and skillful strategic planning, effective program execution, and experience.

For three decades, such an "integrated approach" to corporate problem solving has been the hallmark of Smith & Harroff (S&H). According to The Holmes Report--PR Agency Report Card, ours is an approach to business that "tends to attract clients who want a high-powered, full-service approach to solving public policy and other challenges, but who don't want to get lost at a larger firm."

The Holmes Report continued: "S&H typically competes for new business with agencies many times its size. It wins in part because of its exclusive focus on public affairs, in part because its senior staff have years of experience working critical policy issues, and in part because it makes it a matter of policy that everyone who participates in a new business presentation also works on the client's business - no bait and switch here."

These are but some of the reasons that for two years consecutively - 2004 and 2003 - The Hill newspaper has selected S&H as among Metropolitan Washington, D.C.'s "Best of the best" public affairs PR firms, "the ones that move opinion and in some cases move mountains."

Whether your organization is trying to move public opinion, impact a legislative or regulatory issue or improve its communications in general, S&H has the expertise and resources to assist your efforts.

We hope that you will find the information contained on our website helpful and invite you to contact us or visit our office in Alexandria, Virginia to learn more about how S&H can help you.
