Mobilize Supporters
Your members and partners are willing to engage, but without campaign structure they act inconsistently or are too late to make an impact.
West Virginia Advocacy Services
Grass-Roots and Grass-Tops Advocacy
Mobilize supporters, activate influential voices, and deliver a coordinated message that moves decision-makers at every level of West Virginia government.
YOUR SUPPORTERS ARE READY.
ARE THEY MOVING TOGETHER?
Without a coordinated strategy, even the most passionate base can’t influence policy outcomes. Here’s where most organizations fall short:
Tap Influential Voices
Executives, community leaders, and respected figures can shift outcomes but only when they are briefed and activated intentionally and strategically.
Sharpen Your Message
Without clear talking points and disciplined timing, advocacy becomes noise instead of a persuasive and credible policy case that moves decision-makers.

What You Should Know About
Advocacy in West Virginia
West Virginia’s political landscape is relationship-driven and uniquely local. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often:
FAQs
Grass-roots advocacy mobilizes a broad base of supporters (members, constituents, and community stakeholders) to generate policy dialogue and demonstrate widespread support for an issue. Grass-tops advocacy activates a smaller group of highly influential voices (executives, community leaders, and respected figures) whose relationships with decision-makers can shift outcomes. HartmanCosco deploys both strategies in lockstep for maximum impact.
We start by defining your goal and constructing a message that resonates with the proper constituencies. From there, we build a coordinated strategy, identify your most valuable assets, both grass-roots and grass-tops, and guide your organization through every step of the process. Our client-first philosophy means your goals drive our approach from day one.
West Virginia’s government is relationship-driven in both its written and unwritten rules. Without insider access and trusted relationships at every level of state government, most organizations find themselves reacting to decisions instead of shaping them. HartmanCosco has spent more than 15 years building the relationships that give our clients a seat at the table.
