We're BergDavis Public Affairs

People have a tendency to try to simplify things, but in the 24-hour world of media, relationships and communications things are rarely black and white. It’s the shades of grey in between that often dictate the success of an endeavor. We’ve made spotting those nuances and distinctions a hallmark of our business. Since 1999, BergDavis has been expertly leading public affairs campaigns for the country’s top companies and brands, government agencies and non-profits. We look past the easy superlatives and gratuitous hyperbole to focus on our client’s long-term goals — whatever they may be.

At BergDavis we know that public affairs is equal parts art and science. For 25 years (and counting), we’ve been managing media relations, strategic communications and lobbying for our clients with the utmost discretion, loyalty and professionalism. Our clients’ successes are our successes — end of story.

BergDavis…The Next Chapter

In July 2024 BergDavis merged with Southwest Strategies, a premier communications firm based in San Diego, expanding our practice across California. Southwest Strategies (SWS) is one of California’s most respected, recognized, and successful public outreach and communications firms. For two decades, SWS has led programs for large-scale power, water, transportation and other infrastructure projects, helping clients engage meaningfully with the public and achieve their goals through innovative outreach strategies. Combining the intimate approach of a boutique public affairs firm and the resources of a communications powerhouse, with teams in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Central Valley, Los Angeles and San Diego, BergDavis and the Southwest Strategies family of companies is well-suited to expertly assist clients with projects of any scale.

“Our approach is simple – to deliver measurable results.”
