Mercury Public Affairs Information

Mercury is a national bipartisan government relations and strategic communications firm. We are built on the belief that getting results demands an understanding of how to control the external environment for our clients, and we have the talent and experience to do just that. Our government relations team is composed of experts from government and political offices as well as campaigns. Our public relations team has vast experience working with national, local and ethnic media, and engage with the press every day. Our expertise in these fields offer a unique perspective rarely seen at other agencies, and our results bear that out.
