Moonshot Strategies is a public affairs firm that takes complex regulatory and legislative fights and creates the conditions to win them.
We don't just defend a client's position — we build multi-channel campaigns that shift public opinion, apply pressure on the other side of a fight, and change the leverage in a negotiation before it reaches a hearing or a courtroom.
Our team has spent decades shaping policy from the inside, and we provide strategy, lobbying, grassroots organizing, paid media, and communications in-house.
| Public Affairs Campaigns
We run public affairs campaigns from strategy through execution. That starts with the strategy itself — grounded in experience and relationships, not guesswork — and carries through the lobbying, grassroots and coalition building, paid media, and communications work needed to move it forward. We build and run coalitions, mobilizing affected individuals, community groups, faith and labor networks, and third-party validators, and we back that with earned media, targeted paid and digital content, and direct outreach to reporters, editorial boards, and policymakers. Our campaigns have helped stop unfavorable legislation in more than a dozen states, reverse a rescinded multi-billion-dollar government contract, and move a New York auto insurance reform package into law as part of the FY27 state budget.
| Lobbying
Beyond campaign work, Moonshot Strategies represents clients across industries in direct lobbying before New York State and City government. We use our relationships and experience shaping policy to advance a client's agenda, and to move quickly when regulatory or legislative timing matters.
| Labor
With decades of experience working in and alongside New York's unions, our team understands labor dynamics from the inside. We've navigated complex negotiations — including a labor agreement involving Apollo Global Management and the Venetian hotel owners — and we bring that same experience to businesses across gaming, hospitality, and real estate. We advise on labor relations, help both sides find common ground toward sustainable agreements, and help clients anticipate how elected officials and the media will respond to labor news.
| Gaming & Real Estate
Moonshot Strategies works on gaming policy and real estate development across New York. We guide operators and developers through the state's approvals, licensing, and regulatory processes, and through the community and political engagement that often determines whether a project moves forward.
