When a client had been given the runaround by other firms and couldn’t get in front of the right decision-makers, Shepherd Strategies delivered—securing eight senior Hill office meetings, a National Economic Council engagement, a Deputy Assistant Secretary meeting, and access to an invitation-only White House event in 48 hours. The difference wasn’t hustle. It was preparation, proven relationships, and a strategy built around clear, data-backed asks. That’s what it looks like when the right firm shows up for you in Washington.
When Interstate Business Solutions needed federal and state regulatory alignment to activate a public-private partnership in Indiana, Shepherd Strategies helped connect the dots—facilitating coordination across FHWA requirements, state transportation officials, and local stakeholders to bring a compelling project to life. The result benefits the local community, the state, and federal infrastructure goals simultaneously. Building on Phase 1’s success, Shepherd Strategies is now working with Interstate Business Solutions to replicate this model nationwide.
After a devastating fire destroyed Block Island’s iconic Harborside Inn in August 2023, Shepherd Strategies partnered with The Haynes Group to help rebuild, not just the structure, but the stakeholder alignment needed to make it possible. Through strategic relationship-building and focused coordination across town, state, and private interests, our team helped move this complex project from vision to groundbreaking. The Harborside Inn, a cornerstone of Rhode Island’s tourism economy since 1879, is anticipated to reopen in summer 2027.
Shepherd Strategies strives to align our clients with government interests by providing real-world industry feedback to decision-makers. When the U.S. Department of Energy requested industry comment on its plans to power data centers nationwide, we led our clients in providing industry-led data, shaping decision-makers, and initiating new federal bid opportunities.
After supporting multiple small- to medium-sized enterprises creating and manufacturing U.S. power supply products, we proudly led the launch of three new U.S. factories, while securing millions of dollars of state, federal, and local funding for the entities that recently became Forgent Power- now one of the largest publicly traded manufacturing, engineering, and service companies in the world.
