Our Services
MLV Strategies is a public affairs, strategy, and communications firm that works with corporate, startup, and political clients on high-stakes engagements nationwide.
We provide high-touch guidance, and execute on it, for organizations under aggressive scrutiny — or looking to create scrutiny. We change entrenched narratives and bend outcomes.
-
Our public-facing campaigns focus on building support and driving action by creating thoughtful, targeted, integrated programs designed to engage and persuade the audiences needed to win. We’ve built successful campaigns to move lawmakers, regulators, voters, influencers, and more.
-
We’ve helped lead - and win - multi-jurisdictional campaigns for clients in more than 25 states and across varied sectors, including:
Legalizing sports betting across the country;
Establishing equitable ride-sharing laws;
Shaping cryptocurrency and insurance regulations;
Fighting for fair labor laws;
Breaking entrenched monopolies in the alcohol industry; and more
-
We’ve worked extensively with every top-tier media outlet in the country and developed effective messaging for incredibly esoteric challenges. Despite current media trends, we believe the facts can still move opinion, and we find ways to break through for our clients.
-
We’ve led and worked on ballot campaigns across the country around contentious issues, including climate change, gun violence prevention, sports gaming, and public health. We’ve built and led Super PACs targeting control of Congress and big-city mayoral elections.
-
We’ve successfully guided clients under the brightest lights of national scrutiny, and under attack by some of the most vicious and aggressive opponents in the country. We help clients fight back, winning battles against the political left and right, state or federal government regulatory offensives, and in high-stakes litigation.

Our Clients
About MLV Strategies
While the tactics and tools we use continue to change, our approach remains the same: immerse deeply in our client’s issues, businesses, and the information ecosystems that impact outcomes for our clients.
Larger firms can offer impressive services but all too often provide replacement-level work. We are a boutique operation and keep a purposefully tight client roster, ensuring the component that matters — the actual work — isn’t being farmed out to junior staff while an executive does a Zoom with the client once a week.
Built to excel in an increasingly chaotic world, we are guided by the following premise: that providing clients with the ability to not only maintain stability when under duress — but become stronger and flourish when chaos reigns — is the most important value we can deliver in modern information ecosystems.
Battle-tested and built in the NYC media cauldron, MLV Strategies builds campaigns to influence outcomes, change narratives, and drive action by creating thoughtful, targeted, and integrated programs to engage and persuade the audiences needed to win – media, lawmakers, voters, or whoever is necessary to affect an outcome.
MLV Strategies was founded in 2015 by Marc La Vorgna. Marc served as press secretary to NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg, and he remains a senior advisor to Mr. Bloomberg.
