IG Strategies is a government relations and public affairs firm helping organizations move projects, policy, and priorities forward with municipal, provincial, state, and federal government — across Ontario, Michigan, and beyond.
Municipal decision-making is changing. Provincial, state, and federal regulatory environments are shifting around energy, infrastructure, and growth. Organizations without senior counsel in the room lose time, funding, and momentum to the ones that have it.
Every level of government moves differently. We tailor our approach — and our team — to how decisions actually get made at each one, backed by our in-house digital influence practice so your position is heard by government and shaped in public opinion at the same time.
Federal decisions move fast, and the window to shape them is often narrow. We help organizations get in front of the right offices, with a position that's ready to be heard, before a file is already decided.
Provincial and state outcomes rarely come down to access alone — they come down to the right message reaching the right decision-maker at the right moment. We build that path and walk it with you, from Queen's Park to Lansing and every ministry or department in between.
Municipal decisions increasingly decide whether major projects move forward at all — especially in energy, data centres, and land use. We work directly with councils, planning staff, and communities to keep projects on track.
Government doesn't stop at the border. Neither do we. Companies operating across Ontario and Michigan face two political systems, multiple regulators, and interconnected economic interests. IG Strategies helps organizations build one coordinated government relations strategy across the border.
Most GR firms stop at the government relationship. We combine that senior counsel with an in-house digital influence practice — so the same team shaping your position in government is also shaping how it's seen in public opinion.
Offices in Toronto, Windsor, and Detroit give clients with cross-border exposure a single team on both sides of the relationship.
Government relations, public affairs, and digital influence (SEO, paid, social, analytics) working from the same strategy — not separate vendors.
Deep experience in energy & data centres, infrastructure, land development, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing — where the politics are as complex as the projects.
We're a boutique firm by design. Every mandate receives direct senior involvement from strategy through execution, giving clients continuity, speed, and access throughout the engagement.
