Today, Politico Influence, the beltway's guide to inside lobbying, crunched the second quarter Lobbying Disclosure Act numbers and Thorn Run was at the top of their list. Compared to 2013 figures, TRP is on track to increase earnings by more than 21 percent, and is growing faster than any of the 22 other firms according to their estimates. While by no means an official score card, PI's note of enthusiasm is welcome.
Who is projected to have a good year?
PI continues its look into the second quarter Lobbying Disclosure Act numbers with a somewhat arbitrary snapshot of the financial health and growth potential of a few K Street government relations firms — both large, small and in between. In its rough estimation, six firms in its sample — Thorn Run, Crossroads Strategies, Gephardt Group, Republic Consulting, Daly Consulting Group and Shockey Scofield Solutions — are projected to see double-digit growth if they keep up current rate of billings. None of those firms are in the top 20 largest lobbying firms in the city — showing that boutique K Street operations are still where a lot of the growth is.
