B3 approaches public policy with a focus on communication and relationship building. Positioned as the Public Policy Architects, B3 builds public policy from the ground up. By building public policy brick by brick, B3 seeks to develop lasting solutions to legislative problems. Through education and relationship building, B3 assists clients with the development and implementation of public policy and government relations strategy on the local, Arizona state, and federal levels.  
The B3 team develops expertise on clients’ issues, focusing on creating a depth of knowledge rather than acting as a jack-of-all trades, expert of none. B3  strives to improve its clients’ government relations programs by promoting communication and understanding between the private and public sectors and bridging the gap between business and policy makers.
At B3, our staff focuses on utilizing their individual skills to execute client projects through attention to detail and a developed understanding of our clients' needs and policy goals.
