Government Relations, PR and Marketing Firms Merge to Create Amber Integrated (AI)
Three of Oklahoma’s most skilled and accomplished government relations, public relations, and digital marketing and political campaign firms are merging to create Amber Integrated (AI), a new business devoted to comprehensive advocacy and marketing services. In addition to traditional government relations, marketing and public relations, the new firm places an emphasis on analytically driven strategies, quantitative research and digitally focused campaigns.
FKG Consulting is Oklahoma’s largest government relations firm. It is joining its operations and services with the Right Strategy Group, an Oklahoma City company focused on campaigns, market research and digital advocacy, as well as Uppercase Strategies, a public relations firm.
The three groups have collaborated recently on multiple statewide projects, including the successful Oklahomans Against State Question 793 campaign, which defeated a well-funded ballot proposal backed by Walmart. Their merger makes AI the only fully integrated public affairs and marketing firm to offer government relations, political consulting, public relations, market research data analytics and advertising under one roof.
AI’s founding partners include Bryan Fried, Tammie Kilpatrick, Ryan Kilpatrick, Jackson Lisle, Ryan Tupps, Alex Weintz and Spencer Guinn.
In a joint statement, the partners said:
“Our goal at AI Strategies is to deliver victories for our clients, period. Forming AI gives us the most complete set of tools available in an environment that is more data-driven, digitally focused, and fast-paced than ever. The services we offer are unique, and we are excited by the enhanced experience we will be able to offer our clients and look forward to delivering more wins on their behalf.”
AI Strategies’ clientele begins as a diverse group of Fortune 500 companies, privately-owned businesses, trade groups, non-profits, and political candidates and organizations operating in several states.
