In today's highly competitive and often chaotic federal marketplace, for emerging companies to succeed it takes more than just meetings and cookie cutter media campaigns. It takes agile, cross platform strategies that combine media, business development and advocacy tools applied with expertise, energy and discretion.

Meridian Hill Founder & President

Ernest Baynard brought a unique understanding of politics, policy and the media to my team. By working closely with Ernest we were able to generate significant national media coverage for the issues I care about the most - his efforts and expertise played an important roll in building my profile and securing my first re-election victory as a new Member of Congress.
