Forbes Tate Partners: Insights Internship - Spring 2022 [Virtual]

About Forbes Tate Partners

Forbes Tate Partners (FTP) is a bipartisan, full-service public affairs consultancy specializing in government relations, grassroots advocacy, strategic communications, and business development. Our seasoned team works together closely to consistently meet clients’ needs and expectations. FTP has a proven record of generating positive results for our clients.

FTP offers robust audience insights to help develop and execute campaigns and measure progress toward success. From campaign planning to message development to execution – and every step in between – there are more opportunities for insights and measurement than ever before. Everything we do is oriented toward direct decision-making that helps advance our clients’ goals. We recommend and conduct research only when we are confident that additional insights will be directly actionable and useful.

Our team uses a full suite of tools and approaches, including qualitative and quantitative opinion research, social and earned media analysis, and advanced campaign analytics to be sure that you target the right audiences with the best message delivered most effectively. If a campaign tactic is working, our insights help improve it — and if it’s not, our findings inform our course corrections.
