Legion Public Affairs was founded on a simple idea

lasting influence comes from people, not press releases.

Legion mission

Legion’s mission is to help organizations build and own their own influence.

We move beyond ad-hoc coalitions to create sustained Influence Equity—permanent, owned assets that accrue value and capability over time. That means:

  • Authentic communities

  • Trusted third-party voices

  • Independent coalitions with real staying power

  • Scalable infrastructure to drive influence from the outside in

The solution

Why is this necessary?

Most organizations already have:

  • Corporate communications that carry your official message.

  • Trade associations that represent the collective industry voice.

  • Maybe even third-party allies speaking in general terms

But do you have the voice of real people—consumers, community leaders, workers, veterans, or small business owners—carrying your message with authenticity and urgency?

Most companies don’t. And in today’s environment, that’s a risk. That’s where Legion Public Affairs comes in. We build and organize independent, third-party communities, giving you credibility, cover, and pressure when it matters most. This isn’t branding.


This is building real-world influence that supports your goals from the outside in.
