BergDavis Public Affairs is finishing the year strong, and we are already getting started on new projects and opportunities for 2025! Here’s a look at some of our recent milestones. Don’t hesitate to reach out to learn more about our work.
This summer, BDPA merged with Southwest Strategies Group, a premiere communications firm with offices in Southern California, the Central Valley, and the Bay Area. We’ve had the pleasure of working with our new colleagues, expanding our reach and expertise to our clients.
BDPA worked with our new colleagues at ColLAborate in Los Angeles on event planning and media outreach for the Grand Opening of MacArthur Field A and Topping Off of MacArthur Field B. This project by our client The Core Companies in partnership with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will create 148 units of affordable housing for formerly homeless and disabled veterans.
For more than 20 years, BDPA has been at the forefront of housing development in the Bay Area. Faced with the current housing crisis, we are proud to support the creation of new housing across the state. A number of our clients have celebrated groundbreakings and grand openings for affordable housing developments this year.
BDPA has worked with the San Francisco Bar Pilots and their Sacramento-based lobbying team in pursuit of a long-term solution to complying with the California Air Resource Board’s (CARB) upcoming Commercial Harbor Craft (CHC) regulations, which will create significant operational and financial challenges for SFBP as the organization seeks to fulfill its mandate of piloting ships in and out of the San Francisco Bay. In spearheading the organization’s social media accounts and State Legislature-facing newsletter, BDPA plays a crucial role in how the Bar Pilots’ message is received by both decision makers at the state level and the general public. Following a veto from Governor Newsom earlier this year on legislation that would have provided the Bar Pilots with a more feasible compliance pathway, SFBP continues to explore solutions that balance the state’s desire to drastically reduce emissions with the need for businesses to operate in California without undue burden.
The arts play a key role in revitalizing downtown areas. BDPA has assisted our clients in promoting events and activations that contribute to a vibrant Downtown!
BDPA client The East Cut Community Benefit District (CBD) debuted San Francisco’s newest piece of public art, East Cut Electric. The display is San Francisco’s first permanent building light projection, lighting up the PG&E Substation in Downtown with a 114-foot display every night. Downtown visitors can expect new displays from different artists every quarter
Our team works with many Bay Area organizations, offering support as members and serving on boards.
