We help our clients navigate complex policies and projects with their constituents. Working with special districts, local and county governments, nonprofits, community developers, public-serving companies, architects, and engineers, we implement strategies that gain public support and deliver results.
Some use a one-way outreach model or PR tactics as a substitute for real engagement. At Turn Corps we generate authentic dialogue by seeding local, personal conversations and creating thought-provoking communications.
We maintain connections and relationships throughout Colorado communities to identify citizen influencers who build powerful coalitions to influence local decisions.
We develop polls and surveys and promote them across platforms to build credibility for your project and help prioritize messaging
From small towns to urban centers, we tap into our networks to identify individuals who believe in your project and are motivated to build grassroots support for its success
Our corps of citizens makes real impact because we take the time to strategically support them with resources and added-skills training
We utilize our unmatched relationships and operate with utmost discretion to gather intel and guide public sentiments to ensure our clients’ initiatives are widely supported.

Most of our plans include a local earned media element from letters to the editor to generating stories
Our communities are changing. Rural towns are building and maintaining local economies, and attracting new and younger talent. Suburban cities are dealing with traditionally urban issues. Cities are becoming more unaffordable. Demographics are shifting across the state, and nationally - and people are feeling the impacts. And they want a voice and a more authentic planning process, with the expectation for better outcomes. Let us help you navigate and negotiate these issues with your constituents on the front-end so there are less surprises throughout your project.
