What We Do
Ballast Research bridges the gap between senior policymakers and advocates, helping them forge more productive partnerships.
We improve the policy process by introducing a more objective and meaningful measure of advocacy effectiveness. Armed with direct policymaker feedback, advocates and government relations professionals understand how their reputation and influence compares to that of their peers and the steps they can take to engage more productively.
Our Services
How We Do It
Each year, we engage over 3,500 senior policymakers through quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews on their experiences with over 100 leading advocacy groups. This direct feedback, bolstered by insights gathered over nearly a decade, allows our clients to validate impact, understand opportunities, and determine optimal strategy and investment for future success.
