Prosody Group

What Prosody Group does

Prosody Group is a privately held professional services firm headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, founded in 2012 and led by the Brettell brothers (Bob, Joe, and Charles). The firm offers a unified portfolio spanning economic development consulting, strategic communications, and public affairs, organized around four service pillars: Public Affairs and Media Relations, Economic Development Consulting (grants, public-private partnerships, tax credits, PILOT and rebate programs), Strategic Communications (media relations, reputation management, crisis management, grassroots organizing, media training, social media), and a newer Custom AI Solutions offering focused on helping clients, particularly in energy and infrastructure, communicate their AI and technology stories.

The firm's value proposition is the combination of funding-sourcing capability and strategic communications under one roof, supported by the founders' decades of experience at local, state, and federal government levels and an established relationship network across regulators and development programs. The client base is enterprise-segment, drawn from verticals including energy (renewable power siting, crisis defense), transportation and logistics (inland port development, surface transportation lobbying), building materials, agriculture, technology, government, wine, and non-profits. Named clients in testimonial form include DeBruce (CEO Paul DeBruce), Combs (CEO Bobby Combs), and Mondavi Sisters Collection (CEO Alycia Mondavi).

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales driven by inbound consultation requests and referral relationships rather than channel partnerships, with thought leadership (blog content, podcast appearances, CERAWeek participation, placements in Forbes, Washington Post, Time, Fox News, and NBC) used to generate top-of-funnel awareness. There is no proprietary technology platform, no app, no API, and no disclosed data assets; revenue is generated through project-based consulting engagements priced per scope with no publicly disclosed rates. The firm shows no external investment, parent company, or public-market listing based on available information.
