The consortium business model is a key difference between TheWadeGroup, Inc. and traditional public affairs firms.
The traditional business model allows an agency, no matter the size, to employ only a limited number of senior-level professionals. Thus, there is no guarantee that the person with the most experience in the discipline, industry or with the issue of concern to the client will be assigned the work. And, under the traditional business model, the time demands of managing and growing an agency work against keeping senior-level professionals directly engaged with the client's challenge.
TheWadeGroup addresses these concerns through our unique consortium business model, which allows us to make three differentiating guarantees:
- We will provide the right professionals for each client’s challenge because our consortium includes more experienced senior professionals than the business model for a traditional agency would ever allow. With a team of 10 senior public affairs professionals, we are able to meet any public affairs challenge a client will face.
- Our senior people will stay focused on the client’s challenge from beginning to end because they have only one responsibility—the client. They are only paid when working for a client and they have no other agency responsibilities.
- We provide the best value for the client’s dollar because our click-and-brick business model means much lower overhead for TheWadeGroup and more competitive fees for the client.
