IGRG: An Industry Leader

Established in 1993, the Industry Government Relations Group has quietly and consistently been an innovator at the centre of Canada's lobbying industry.

In the ever changing world of ''here today, gone tomorrow'' lobbying firms and personalities in Ottawa, IGRG offers clients expertise, stability and integrity.

The key to IGRG is an extensive network of contacts, years of combined experience, a cost-effective operating structure and a dynamic, intelligent management team.

The key to effective government relations is understanding how democratic processes, political institutions and the machinery of government impact the private and non-profit sectors. To get results, it is critical to understand how both elected and non-elected public officials can help deliver the public policy outcomes you want.

IGRG consultants appreciate the subtleties. We recognize that a key component of effective lobbying is building strong, lasting relationships. Government relations is about the 'people' at every level in the institutions and departments of governments.

Public officials are dedicated, well educated people who understand good ideas when they hear them. It is up to you to make a strong and creative case for your position. IGRG can help.

IGRG is:

• The FIRST Government Relations ('GR') firm in Ottawa to introduce the 'Government Relations Audit'.
• The ONLY firm that offers the 'GR Coach' for effective government relations during the critical implementation period of your corporate strategy.
• The ONLY firm that offers one-time 'Executive Briefing Sessions' on Canadian public policy issues relevant to your organization and policy objectives.
• The ONLY firm to provide a half-day GR Workshop so that you and your staff can be up to speed on the machinery of government and the best approach for proactive government relations that get results.
• The ONLY firm that offers Association and Coalition Management Services so that your firm or association won't be blind-sided by government action or inaction.

IGRG is NOT:

• A firm that tries to be all things to all people.
• Anything other than a government relation's firm.
• A firm that tries to sell its clients more services than are necessary or that can be best provided by other firms or specialized service providers.
• A firm that believes the internet is the only way to do effective lobbying; however, we are fully equipped to develop and host your campaign sites.

IGRG's core practices include:

• Government relations and public affairs services related to consultations, legislation, regulation, and procurement campaigns.
• Association and coalition management services.

The professional IGRG team has assisted countless corporations and associations implement winning government relations campaigns. We get the job done quietly and effectively, on time and on budget.
