Communicating and selling into the defense industry is not a place for the uninitiated. It is a subtle and highly nuanced environment. Experience is everything in what Mintz & Hoke calls business-to-defense and/or business-to-government categories.

Many of our defense clients have looked to Mintz & Hoke for program advocacy support and to help keep critical programs sold in for over two decades. We've worked on presidential helicopter campaigns, helped keep Electric Boat's submarines relevant in a transforming Navy and augmented the selling efforts of Pratt & Whitney's engines to allied air forces across the globe.

It is critical that influential people on the Hill know your company, brands and products. It means not only reaching names you read in the headlines, but also staffers and aides who have tremendous influence over the elected and administrative officials they serve and to whom they provide information on a day in and day out basis. Staying relevant inside the Capital Beltway means communications has to meet the challenge every day, whether it's hitting the editorial pages of the Washington Post or grabbing the attention of a staffer riding the Metro to the Pentagon.
