Wexford Strategies

What Wexford Strategies does

Wexford Strategies is a private public affairs and government relations consultancy founded in 2009 and headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, operating as a subsidiary of HBW Resources. The firm delivers two distinct service practices. The first is government affairs and lobbying representation, providing federal lobbying in Washington, DC, state-level advocacy in Tallahassee, integrated federal/state/local combination packages, and GSA and 8(a) federal marketplace business development assistance. The second is a recently launched sports management and player representation practice headed by Partner Ben Tilney, covering team management for professional soccer/football organizations and player representation across UK, EU, and America.

The firm operates on a professional services revenue model with sales-led, consultation-based engagement. Pricing is customized and flexible, structured around multi-year contracts rather than published rate cards or tiered SaaS pricing. Go-to-market is direct outreach to Florida-based companies and organizations needing advocacy in Tallahassee and/or Washington DC, supplemented by referral pipelines generated through leadership roles on CareerSource Florida, Consumer Energy Alliance of Florida, and various regional chambers of commerce. The team consists of four named professionals: Managing Partner Kevin Doyle (also EVP at parent HBW Resources), Partner and Sporting Director Ben Tilney, and government affairs professionals Todd Sykes and Scott Sturgill.

Wexford Strategies' customer base spans Florida-based organizations requiring state and federal advocacy (primary segment) and a smaller set of disclosed sports clients including CRFC Falcons (Northern Ireland women's football), FK Cesis (Latvia professional club), and Ancient City Soccer Club (Florida). The firm maintains no proprietary technology platform, no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, and no published pricing, certifications, or awards. Geographic reach is anchored in the U.S. (Washington DC, Tallahassee, Florida-based clients) with selective international sports practice presence in the UK, Northern Ireland, and Latvia.
