New Service Integrates Political Strategy and Strategic Communications to Help Companies Assess Risk and Navigate Congressional Scrutiny
WASHINGTON, D.C. — FTP, a bipartisan government relations and public affairs firm, announced the launch of its congressional oversight offering. The new service helps companies prepare for and effectively respond to congressional inquiries, investigations, and reputational risks.
FTP’s government relations and public affairs leadership teams will lead the congressional oversight offering, drawing on decades of experience across both parties, both chambers of Congress, and the administration.
“Aggressive oversight will become a top congressional priority in January, no matter which party holds the gavel,” said Libby Greer, Partner and Head of Government Relations at FTP. “Companies should prepare in advance and be ready to protect against any threat or leverage any opportunity.”
“Congressional oversight can put a company’s reputation, leadership, and business at risk long before a hearing begins,” said Robert Mathias, Managing Partner at FTP. “Clients need their legal, political, and communications strategies working together from the start. Our new offering brings the full strength of FTP to meet this strategy. One team, one strategy. No gaps when the pressure spikes.”
FTP’s congressional oversight service will support clients across every phase of an inquiry, including:
- Before the letter gets sent — Early intelligence, exposure reviews, AI reputation audits, and economic impact analysis to identify vulnerabilities and build an affirmative record.
- When the inquiry lands — Response strategy, message development and testing, member and staff engagement, and coordination with allies and third-party validators.
- Through the committee hearing — Full-suite witness preparation, mock hearings, and media training built for the pace and pressure of a Congressional proceeding.
- And after the last question — Proactive communications and media relations, rapid response, reputation management, and targeted digital engagement to protect the company and maintain its reputation.
FTP supports clients across the full arc of an inquiry or step in at a specific point of need. Engagements may begin well before congressional outreach or as soon as an inquiry arrives. In every case, FTP helps clients anticipate exposure, protect credibility, and walk into the hardest rooms in Washington with confidence.
