RSA Consulting Group

What RSA Consulting Group does

RSA Consulting Group is a private, Florida-based government relations and lobbying firm founded in 2009 by Ron Pierce and headquartered in Tampa, with additional offices in Tallahassee and (as of 2025) Miami. The firm employs approximately 10 full-time staff serving a roster of more than 100 clients across healthcare, sports and entertainment, government, education, arts and culture, construction, nonprofits, and innovation.

Core services are government relations, legislative affairs, community affairs, strategic planning, and media/public relations, delivered through multi-year lobbying retainers and project-based engagements. Named clients span national brands and major Florida institutions (Uber Florida, AdventHealth, Moffitt Cancer Center, BayCare, Tampa Bay Lightning, Pittsburgh Pirates, Florida Aquarium, Tampa Theater, Straz Center, Homes by West Bay, Hillsborough County Property Appraiser, United Way Suncoast, TBARTA, Helios Education Foundation), reflecting a diversified mix of enterprise and mid-market accounts.

Revenue mechanics are retainer-based, with engagement sizes varying by client scale — large health systems, professional sports franchises, and corporate clients (e.g., Uber Florida) typically anchor the higher end of contract value, while arts, nonprofit, and municipal accounts broaden the base. The firm has invested in talent through senior lateral hires and director-level promotions, and in capability through a 2019 partnership with Suskey Consulting. Brand is supported by multiple industry awards (Boutique/Mid-sized Lobbying Firm of the Year, 2019, 2023, 2025). No revenue is disclosed, and the firm is not transaction-backed by external investors on the basis of available information.
