What Necrason Group does

Necrason Group is a government affairs and communications firm headquartered at 33 Court Street in Montpelier, Vermont, steps from the state capitol. Founded in 2004 as Necrason Group, LLC, the firm provides an integrated four-service platform: Government Affairs (legislative advocacy, coalition building, crisis resolution, decision-maker outreach), Public & Media Relations (message development, media outreach, earned media strategy, social media advocacy, grassroots organizing), Strategic Consulting (project leadership for complex situations, state procurement support, assembling specialized consulting teams), and State Contracting (procurement advisory for Vermont government contracts). The firm's products are bespoke advisory services with no proprietary technology platform, software, or recurring licensed product line.

The firm's client base spans six identified verticals in Vermont: Community & Economic Development, Healthcare & Education, Energy & Environment, Labor, Business, and Equal Justice/Civil Rights. Publicly named clients include UVM Health Network, Vermont Energy Investment Corporation (Efficiency Vermont), Ben & Jerry's, Vermont Brewers Association, The Nature Conservancy Vermont Chapter, Howard Center, Vermont National Education Association, Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO), Renewable Energy Vermont, and Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, with additional unidentified Fortune 100 companies, quasi-governmental agencies, and trade associations in the portfolio. The firm is small (firmographic size: 1-10 employees), with nine named team contacts carrying differentiated expertise (former legislator, attorneys, environmental specialists, media professionals).

Necrason Group generates revenue through professional services fees structured as project-based engagements and retainers; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct, anchored by the firm's Montpelier office and physical proximity to the statehouse, with go-to-market primarily referral-driven by multi-decade relationships cultivated by senior team members. Brand positioning is reinforced by repeated recognition as the top-ranked Vermont lobbying firm and Adam Necrason as Top Vermont Lobbyist in the Seven Days Lobbyist Poll. The firm has reported major outcomes including $500M+ secured in state-budget coalition work for housing and conservation, $600M for Efficiency Vermont, and the 2026 H.921 craft-beverage legislation campaign for the Vermont Brewers Association.
