Direct peers

• The Ingram Group: The Ingram Group is a Tennessee-based public and government relations firm where Hall Strategies founders Joe Hall and Abby Trotter worked before launching their own practice. It is directly comparable given overlapping PR + GR service mix and shared Nashville/Tennessee market focus.
• MP&F Strategic Communications: MP&F is a Nashville-based integrated communications firm offering public relations, content, digital, and social media services. It is a direct peer given shared Nashville market, similar mid-sized professional services structure, and overlapping service offerings to enterprise and nonprofit clients.
• FGS Global: FGS Global (formed from the merger of Finsbury Glover Hering and Sard Verbinnen) is a national strategic communications and government relations firm. It is directly comparable because it pairs public relations with public affairs under one roof - mirroring Hall Strategies' integrated service model - and has poached Hall Strategies Director Sara Pruneski, who spent eight years there.
• BGR Group: BGR Group is a bipartisan government relations and public affairs firm with a Tennessee practice tied to former U.S. Senator Bob Corker - himself connected to Hall Strategies partner Ann Marie Anderson, who was Corker's deputy press secretary. It is directly comparable for the government relations segment of Hall Strategies' practice.
• Cornerstone Government Affairs: Cornerstone Government Affairs is a national bipartisan government relations firm with a strong Tennessee presence handling state-level legislative strategy. It is directly comparable as a peer firm for Hall Strategies' government relations and advocacy work, especially on Tennessee policy issues like the Fix the Beer Tax campaign.

Broad incumbents

• Finn Partners: Finn Partners is a national public relations firm that absorbed Nashville's DVL Seigenthaler (where Hall Strategies partner Justin H. Wilson was previously VP). It is comparable as a broad incumbent with a Nashville office serving overlapping client categories in healthcare, technology, and consumer brands, but offers a much larger resource base and broader service portfolio.
• Edelman: Edelman is the world's largest public relations firm with global reach and broad industry coverage including health, technology, and consumer products. It is comparable as a broad incumbent that serves many of the same enterprise client categories as Hall Strategies, though at vastly larger scale and with proprietary research and analytics capabilities.
• FleishmanHillard: FleishmanHillard is a global public relations and integrated marketing agency with strong corporate, healthcare, and technology practices. It is a broad incumbent peer with overlapping capabilities in media relations, crisis communications, and social media, serving many of the same enterprise client types.
• Weber Shandwick: Weber Shandwick is a global public relations firm with deep expertise in corporate communications, healthcare, technology, and public affairs. It is a broad incumbent peer competing for many of the same enterprise brand-building and crisis communications mandates as Hall Strategies.
• Ketchum: Ketchum is a global public relations firm, now part of Omnicom PR Group, with strong consumer marketing, corporate, and public affairs practices. It is a broad incumbent that competes for enterprise brand work in hospitality, real estate, and nonprofit categories where Hall Strategies operates.
