Kallari Strategies

Kallari Strategies was established in 2016 to address a specific gap in the public affairs and government relations market: the need for nuanced, cross-border strategic counsel that connects organizations with decision-makers in complex international environments. Based in New York, United States, the firm was founded by professionals who recognized that many organizations—particularly those looking to enter or expand within Latin America—struggled to navigate the intersection of local political dynamics, media landscapes, and stakeholder expectations. From its headquarters at 11-02 49th Ave in New York, Kallari Strategies has built a practice centered on helping clients understand and act within these intricate systems, blending government relations with strategic communications to achieve tangible outcomes.

Core Focus: Government Relations and International Affairs

The firm’s primary expertise lies in government relations and international affairs, with a strong emphasis on Latin America. Kallari Strategies helps organizations build and maintain relationships with key legislators, officials, and influencers in target countries. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach; the team develops holistic, integrated plans that combine government, communications, and marketing strategies to meet specific organizational objectives. Whether the goal is to influence policy, secure regulatory approvals, or enhance reputation in a new market, Kallari Strategies provides the on-the-ground insight and high-level relationship management necessary to move forward. The firm’s experience extends across political risk analysis, where it assesses how political trends and shifts might affect long- and short-term growth plans, offering clients a clearer picture of the opportunities and threats in their operating environment.

Strategic Communications and Advocacy Services

Beyond direct government engagement, Kallari Strategies offers a suite of strategic communications and advocacy services designed to complement its government relations work. The firm determines messaging platforms and drafts content for thought leadership marketing, helping clients position themselves effectively in new or challenging markets. Services also include media training, speechwriting, and content creation for broadcast production—all tailored to the unique cultural and political contexts of the target region. Advocacy is a core component, where Kallari Strategies educates and influences key stakeholders, from policymakers to the public, through coalition building and targeted campaigns. The firm’s approach to strategy and issue management involves devising and executing government/public affairs and media campaigns in priority countries, ensuring that each client’s voice is heard by the right audiences at the right time.
