Peter's extensive media and grassroots advocacy experience helps our clients shape and improve the publicity surrounding their programs.
With more than 30 years of experience in the White House, Capitol Hill and corporate lobbying, Peter has managed many successful campaigns to influence public policy. His expertise includes traditional media, social media, and indepent advocacy.
As executive director of a cable television coalition, Peter organized a lobbying, advertising, and PR campaign that over several years stopped Internet "neutrality" regulation in more than a dozen states and the FCC. He testified before city and state legislatures and was a frequent guest on TV and talk radio.
Peter also ran a coalition of telephone companies that successfully lobbied more than a dozen states to reduce telephone access charges. The coalition was so successful that the coalition's main legislative opponent spoke openly of the need to emulate its strategies.
Peter also ran an association of global entertainment companies that succesfully lobbied more than 15 states to update their cable TV franchise laws.
For 25 years, he was a consultant to AT&T's Law & Government Affairs office in Washington, DC. He spent 20 years with the National Structured Settlements Trade Association (NSSTA). For NSSTA, he helped organize a coalition of consumer and disability rights groups in a successful effort to pass legislation in Congress and 48 states that restricted sales of future structured settlement payment rights.
