KO Public Affairs

Whether it’s unique story-telling, cutting-edge creativity, winning strategy, essential organizing or spot-on tactics, KO gets results and exceeds expectations. Founded in 2008, KO has provided public affairs expertise to leading corporations and nonprofits in healthcare, energy, education, international relations, real estate, transportation, manufacturing, sports and entertainment. In 2024, KO expanded its portfolio to include a seasoned team that creates and executes every aspect of consumer public relations campaigns, including overall communications strategy, media relations, special events, social media, new store openings and product launches, crisis communications, and more. Helping our clients take care of their most pressing issues of the day or strategizing about their next business focus is what makes us tick. Whether it’s passing legislation in state capitols or major ballot initiatives, promoting the R&D tax credit across the country, educating the public about the opioid crisis, recruiting support from grasstops, opening a new restaurant, or raising overall brand awareness, we are here to get it done. Our team has led some of the biggest campaigns for elected officials on the national, state and local levels. We’ve secured funding and approvals on some of the largest waterfront developments in the Mid-Atlantic; as well as helped confirm a Supreme Court nominee. Our team has also helped open hundreds of new restaurants across the country and raised awareness of some of the biggest anniversaries in our nation’s history, including the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing, Star Spangled 200, and Pearl Harbor 75. Our creative work has won Emmies, Pollies, Silver Anvils, Best in Show, Pyramid Awards, and more. The leadership team at KO knows how to get it done and deliver the knock-out.
