The Hill Times’ Top 100 Lobbyists in 2024: looming federal election and lingering virtual comms contribute to dynamic advocacy

Broad cross-party outreach, convincing decision-makers that issues are important to them, and being brief are all key to great government relations, say lobbyists.

Part of effective advocacy in 2024 means preparing for a possible shakeup from the approaching federal election, and taking advantage of virtual communication tools, which are now used less frequently since the pandemic's height, but haven’t gone away entirely, say lobbyists.
