Helping clients achieve clean energy policy and market development goals.

With over 15 years of experience in policy advocacy and campaign management, Rachel Bird Strategies understands what it takes to win. We bring together rigorous policy analysis and targeted political strategy to help our clients succeed.

Our Approach

 

Policy Expertise

In legislative and regulatory work, programs can live or die in the selection of words or the placement of a comma. In complex energy policy, a firm foundation in policy and market design matters.

We sweat the details.

Political Strategy

No policy decision is made in a vacuum, no matter how wonky or technical. It’s not always the best facts that win, but sound advocacy strategy that marries “inside game” lobbying with the “outside game” coalition-building.

We run campaigns.
