Upstate SC Firm named among “The South’s Top Government Affairs Firms and Lobbyists.”
November 9, 2015
GREENVILLE COUNTY, SC – In the latest issue of Southern Political Report magazine, editors named Upstate, SC-based TM Public Relations and Governmental Affairs (TMPR) among the South’s top government affairs groups and lobbyists.
In his introduction, publisher Phil Kent wrote, “The average person can’t meet with a local, state or federal representative very much, if at all. So that’s why all sorts of individuals ranging from doctors and gun owners to veterans and senior citizens join associations that retain lobbyists who protect members’ vital interests. That often means advancing, amending or opposing legislation.”
According to TMPR’s managing principal Taft Matney, “When TMPR launched in 2001, it was a leap of faith grounded in a philosophy that we wouldn’t take on clients just for the business. It was and remains important that we only work with and for clients we agree with.”
“We could have had a larger firm and a larger client base if we had cast a wider net, but whether it’s issue advocacy, political consulting, governmental relations, corporate branding, or non-profit strategic planning, we’ve been able to hold to our core beliefs and build a firm with a strong professional and ethical reputation in and out of South Carolina.”
