Ethical and transparent lobbying brings significant benefits to businesses and consumers. From creating new monetization avenues to representing diverse ideas, it champions a vibrant and inclusive business ecosystem.
CMW Strategies, a government relations and consulting firm, excels at harnessing lobbying to advocate for wellbalanced policies that foster economic growth, job creation, and overall community prosperity.
Routinely recognized as one of the top 10 lobbying firms by the New York City County Clerk’s Office, CMW has been helping Fortune 500 companies step foot in New York City and New York State for over three and a half decades. This long-standing experience has enabled it to cultivate strong ties with elected officials, government agencies and gain a deep understanding of the city’s complex inner workings.
CMW strategizes with clients, tracks legislative and budget trends and advocates for legislative actions while providing clients with key services like coalition-building, community relations and public affairs. It specializes in guiding businesses through the regulatory maze like the Uniform Land Use Review Process (ULURP). The company provides counsel, strategy and support and facilitates discussions with government officials to secure project approvals from the Department of City Planning and the City Council for successful real estate development.
CMW also leverages its extensive network and in-depth understanding of the city and state funding landscape to aid non-profits, large museums and cultural institutions in securing vital funding from city and state governments. Procurement and contractor support for businesses seeking collaborations with the city or state governments are also a part of its offerings. CMW has been instrumental in successful city-wide transportation and energy projects, securing multi-year funding and grants and advocating for relevant laws. In addition, it tailors strategies to help technology companies overcome legislative hurdles.
Strategy is at the core of every CMW project
“Strategy is at the core of every CMW project, whether it involves getting a skyscraper built, protecting businesses and neighborhoods, or working on groundbreaking legislation,” says Michael Woloz, President and CEO of CMW Strategies. “We provide clients a detailed blueprint, helping them achieve tangible outcomes when working with government officials.”
CMW Strategies recently played a pivotal role in assisting a California-based technology company to navigate the bureaucratic intricacies of a successful product launch in New York. CMW successfully orchestrated legislative changes at both the state and city levels, collaborating with sponsors, council members, and agency officials. Under the firm’s guidance, the client first won a slot in a pilot program, then secured a five-year contract, and has greatly expanded its presence in New York City. This instance exemplifies CMW’s expertise in strategy execution and relationship building.
The company’s innovative lobbying methods enable it to exceed expectations, facilitating long-standing relationships with its client base. As a proponent for combating climate change and fostering sustainable practices, it is committed to bringing about a transformational, positive shift in energy and environmental endeavors. CMW has recently enhanced its service excellence into education to promote creative curriculum development and increase higher education representation and arts education in public schools to pave the way for a brighter future. All these plans illustrate CMW’s commitment to making a meaningful difference for the industries it represents.
