Purposefully.
Precisely.
Exactly.

Avoq combines strategic communications, government relations and advertising together in one integrated firm. That means clients get senior counsel, audience intelligence, policy expertise, creative strategy and campaign execution working from the same foundation. The result is sharper strategy, faster coordination and work that reaches the right audiences across the channels that matter.

Avoq offers services across reputation management, public affairs, bipartisan government relations, creative campaigns, paid media, digital strategy and AI-powered insights. Our team helps clients shape narratives, protect and build reputation, influence policy, engage stakeholders and bring ideas to life.

We offer subject matter expertise across the sectors driving change and growth such as technology, energy and infrastructure, healthcare and financial services.

Avoq is built for the moments when complexity, reputation, policy and culture converge. Our team brings deep experience from the C-suite, Capitol Hill, campaign rooms, crisis command centers and newsrooms. We’re an independent firm with an enterprising nature. This helps clients see what others miss, move with speed and deliver outcomes that create enterprise value.

Avoq works with brands, businesses, coalitions, associations, nonprofits and organizations navigating high-stakes opportunities and challenges. Our clients come to us when they need to build trust, shape a conversation, reach priority audiences, influence decisions or move an idea from strategy to action.

Avoq helps clients navigate complex operating environments where reputation, regulation, geopolitics, business priorities and public opinion intersect. We support clients through defining moments — from proactive storytelling and issue advocacy to crisis response, reputation management, policy issues, brand-building and integrated campaigns.

Avoq starts with strategy, AI-enabled intelligence and a clear understanding of target audiences. From there, our teams develop the message, creative, content, media plan, stakeholder strategy and executional approach that moves the needle. Because those capabilities sit inside one firm, campaigns can move with speed, consistency and precision from insight to impact.

Avoq uses AI to strengthen the way we gather intelligence, surface insights, sharpen strategy and improve execution. We see AI and human intelligence as complementary — helping our teams move faster, think more precisely and deliver ideas, advice and outcomes with greater impact.

Avoq has locations in Washington, D.C., New York, New Jersey, Chicago and Los Angeles, with teams serving clients across the country. Our footprint gives you access to local perspective, national reach and integrated expertise wherever you need it.

Avoq was formed through a merger between Subject Matter and Kivvit, two firms with deep expertise across strategic communications, government relations, public affairs, advocacy, advertising and creative campaigns. Today, Avoq combines those strengths in one integrated firm built to help clients shape narratives, influence decisions and bring ideas to life.

Avoq is pronounced “uh-VOHK.”

Avoq is inspired by three ideas at the heart of our work: evoke, invoke and provoke — the ability to spur emotion, bring what matters to mind and call people to action. Together, these ideas capture the energy, clarity and momentum we aim to create for every client.
