What We Do
The EDW Group is a public affairs driven strategic development platform that operates at the intersection of government affairs, project management, economic mobility, media, and community advancement.
Rather than functioning as a traditional consulting or lobbying firm, EDW is designed as a platform bringing together relationships, capital access, policy insight, media influence, and execution capacity to move projects, communities, and institutions forward.
What makes EDW a strategic development platform?
EDW does not simply advise, it structures, aligns, and activates:
Public-sector strategy (government affairs, advocacy, legislative navigation)
Capital & funding pathways (grants, sponsorships, bank partnerships, CRA-aligned investments)
Institutional partnerships (corporations, foundations, workforce providers, municipalities)
Narrative & visibility through owned media and strategic communications
Execution support via nonprofit and for-profit vehicles
Why We Exist
To advance opportunity by breaking down silos between policy, business, and community—ensuring Mississippi’s towns, businesses, and people can thrive.
How We’re Different
Not just lobbyists → we combine advocacy with strategy and access.
Not just consultants → we amplify impact through media.
Not just storytellers → we pair storytelling with resources and policy connections.
The only Mississippi-based enterprise that blends government affairs, economic mobility, media, and community impact into one unified brand.
