Hello,
I'm a Global Strategy Group employee who has been tasked with updating the firm's article. I want to go about this the right way, so I'll be abundantly clear about my COI and will suggest edits rather than making direct changes to the GSG page. For my first request, I wanted to ask if editors would consider making changes to the History and organization section, which currently contains a few inaccuracies and informational gaps. It also lacks secondary sourcing, which I understand is important for substantiating claims on Wikipedia.
If you follow this link, it will take you to a subsection of my user page, where I have uploaded a revised section draft that I believe fixes these issues and improves the section overall. On that page, you will see: 1.) the current section; 2.) my revised section draft; and 3.) a list of all the changes I'm proposing, in the order they appear within the draft.
Please feel free to critique my draft. I've read up on Wikipedia's content guidelines and done my best to make sure all the language I've drafted aligns with it, but I'm obviously an interested party and understand that compromise might be necessary.
Thank you! ES at Global Strategy Group ( talk) 14:57, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Apologies for any confusion I created, User:Spintendo. Thanks for giving the article a once-over. I'll revise what I'm asking for and start a fresh request, so that I can work off your changes. In the History and organization, I'm seeking to accomplish the following:
In accordance with Spintendo's suggestion above, I've trimmed all superfluous references. There's now only one sentence—about GSG's expansion of services—that has two of them. That's because the CNBC piece substantiates that GSG is in the public relations business, and the O'Dwyer's one substantiates that the firm also works in public affairs and offers creative services. And I've left the primary source at the end of the sentence about GSG office locations. I know that we don't want to have GSG backing up lots of claims about itself, but in this one case I wonder if the firm can be considered a reliable source. I'll let independent editors determine that.
Here is a side-by-side of the current section and the changes I'm proposing:
− | + | In 1995, GSG was founded by Jonathan Silvan (CEO), Jefrey Pollock (President), and Jeffrey Plaut (Partner) as a boutique polling firm. From its inception, GSG has conducted [[Opinion poll|public opinion research]] on behalf of its clients. Its clients have included political, corporate, and nonprofit organizations. Over time, it has also developed public relations, public affairs, and creative services. In 2008, the firm's annual revenues were about $20 million, and it had 50 employees. In addition to its main offices in New York and [[Washington, D.C.]], GSG has offices in [[Chicago]], [[Denver]], [[Seattle]], [[Philadelphia]], [[Los Angeles]], [[Nashville, Tennessee|Nashville]]; and [[Hartford, Connecticut]].
In 2019, GSG recorded $33.4 million in revenue. That figure increased to $50.5 million the following year. In 2022, the Milan-based communications firm SEC Newgate acquired a significant stake in GSG. Following this acquisition, GSG continued to function independently, while using SEC Newgate's resources to expand its operations outside the United States. As of April 2022, GSG had approximately 150 employees. |
If all my edits were implemented exactly as I'm proposing, the History and organization would look like this:

"It has also done polling for New York House Representatives, including Joe Morelle, Ritchie Torres, Nydia Velazquez, Jerry Nadler"cityandstateny.com is listed as the reference, but Jerry Nadler's name does not appear under the GSG section in that source. His name is listed, but other consultants are described as helping him. If cityandstateny does not describe Nadler as being advised by GSG, then his name should not be included under that ref note. I haven't checked all the other names with the three sources that are listed there yet, but I intend to, so I just want to make sure that all the names align with each ref note used, per WP:INTEGRITY. If you could doublecheck that as well that would be much appreciated. Thank you! Regards, Spintendo 02:54, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello again,
I'm returning to propose updates to the Outside of New York subsection. First, I'd like to ask that the section heading be changed to National work. While GSG once worked primarily with New York-based clients, the NY/non-NY dichotomy no longer describes the firm's business. It is now, as I think the revised section below establishes, a national firm with a particularly big footprint in NY politics.
As I did above with the New York State section, I've put together a side-by-side that shows all the changes I'm looking to make. I'll briefly summarize those:

Global Strategy Group is one of the largest Democratic polling firms in America. [1] Its past clients have included Al Gore during his 2000 presidential run, [2] John Edwards in 2008, [3] former Governor of Iowa Chet Culver, [4] and former Governor of Montana Brian Schweitzer. [5] The firm has also done polling for Democratic candidates including Governors J.B. Pritzker, [6] Janet Mills, [7] and Josh Shapiro; [8] Senators Ed Markey and Jacky Rosen; [9] and Representatives Gabe Vasquez, [10] Sharice Davids, [11] and Steven Horsford. [12] It regularly works with Democratic organizations such as the Democratic Governors Association, [13] Priorities USA, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. [14] In 2018, GSG's Jefrey Pollock and Nick Gourevitch, with other Democratic strategists, founded a polling project called Navigator Research. The project aims to provide research that helps Democratic candidates, committees, and pundits develop messaging that the voting public is likely to find persuasive. [15] In 2016, GSG worked for Coloradans for Coloradans, an advocacy group that campaigned against an initiative to establish a single-payer healthcare system in Colorado. [16] In 2020, GSG worked for Michael Bloomberg’s presidential campaign, and conducted polling that found that Bernie Sanders would damage the prospects of Democratic candidates if he was the party’s presidential nominee. [17] GSG was hired by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) to conduct polling on the 2020 Senate race in Georgia. GSG's research found that David Purdue, who went on to be defeated by Democratic Jon Ossoff, [18] was seen unfavorably by a plurality of voters. [19] In early 2021, GSG and four other large Democratic polling firms led an internal review of the factors that caused them to make certain inaccurate predictions ahead of the 2020 election. [1] The group released recommendations intended to improve polling accuracy in future elections. [20] In 2022, GSG worked with the Center for American Progress Action Fund on a research project gauging voter attitudes toward the term "MAGA Republican". This research, which found that most voters view the term negatively, was used by the Biden White House in composing a speech that was critical of Donald Trump and the "ultra MAGA agenda." [21] Since 2013, GSG has delivered an annual "Business & Politics" study, which reports on issues at the intersection of the public and private sectors. [22] References

Hello,
I've returned to this Talk page to propose an all-new Advocacy campaigns section. While the article does a solid job summarizing GSG's work in electoral politics and within the corporate sector, it doesn't currently have anything about the significant amount of work the firm has done on political and social issues such as abortion access, gun safety, and criminal justice reform. This new section addresses that information gap by detailing some of the more high-profile advocacy projects GSG has been involved in over the past several years.

Global Strategy Group has worked on social and political issues such as abortion access, gun safety, and criminal justice reform. In 2020, the firm collaborated with Reproductive Freedom for All to survey mainstream media coverage of abortion. Their report discovered that despite 78 percent of the American public favoring abortion "at least in some circumstances," only nine percent of press coverage mentioned this broad consensus. [5] GSG has also done polling that measures public opinion of Planned Parenthood. [6] [7] In 2022, the firm successfully worked against a referendum that would have taken away a woman's guaranteed right to abortion in Kansas. [8] In 2023, it aided the successful Issue 1 campaign in Ohio, which codified abortion rights in the state's constitution. [9] In 2022, the firm successfully worked against a referendum that would have taken away a woman's guaranteed right to abortion in Kansas.[4] In 2023, it aided the Issue 1 campaign in Ohio, which codified abortion rights in the state constitution. In 2020, GSG worked with Everytown for Gun Safety to determine that most Pennsylvania voters were in favor of stronger gun safety laws. [10] GSG worked with Everytown again in 2022 on polling that found significant public support for an Illinois bill banning the sale of assault weapons and raising the state's gun-buying age to 21. [11] As part of a 2017 effort by the New York City's Independent Commission on Criminal Justice and Incarceration Reform to close Rikers Island, [12] GSG and the Center for Justice Innovation released polling suggesting that most New York residents supported criminal justice reforms that would reduce the city's prison population. [13] In 2021, GSG and the Equal Justice Initiative released a study comparing media coverage of white and Black defendants in criminal cases. The study found that white defendants were often portrayed in a more sympathetic light. [14] In 2020, GSG collaborated with Color of Change and UnidosUS to investigate the distribution of Paycheck Protection Program funds. Their report found that relatively few Black and Latino small business owners received federal loans compared to their white counterparts. [15] In 2019, GSG and the American Lung Association began publishing an annual poll that measures how Americans feel about clean air and climate action issues, such as investment in renewable fuels and emissions-free vehicles. [16] [17] GSG worked with the Environmental Defense Fund and Natural Resources Defense Council in 2022 on polling that indicates a majority of the public is concerned about air pollution and would support laws to reduce it. [18] GSG has also reported on how parents and teachers view education-related issues, such as post-COVID learning loss [19] and the utility of K-12 math education. [20] The firm has done polling gauging voter opinion on U.S. immigration policy [21] [22] and ballot access. [23] References

I haven't checked all the other names with the three sources that are listed there yet, but I intend to, so I just want to make sure that all the names align with each ref note used, per WP:INTEGRITY. If you could doublecheck that as well that would be much appreciated. Thank you! Regards, Spintendo 02:54, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Revised New York State subsection

GSG has advised New York politicians, including former Governors Andrew Cuomo and Eliot Spitzer. [9] The firm also advises current New York Governor Kathy Hochul. [10] The relationship between GSG and Hochul dates back to the New York 26th congressional district special election, when GSG did polling and strategic work for her winning campaign. [11] During Andrew Cuomo's gubernatorial tenure, GSG President Jefrey Pollock was described as a member of Cuomo's "inner circle". [2] According to the New York Times, Pollock was one of the key figures who advised Cuomo in the wake of the 2021 sexual harassment scandal that ultimately culminated in his resignation. [3] A New York State attorney general report found that Pollock advised Cuomo to "express contrition" shortly after allegations against the governor became public. [12] GSG has advised Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. [7] It has also done polling for New York House Representatives, including Joe Morelle, [13] Ritchie Torres, [14] Jerry Nadler, [15] and Pat Ryan. [16] GSG has been active in New York municipal politics, advising Bill de Blasio during his 2009 Public Advocate campaign. [8] In 2021, GSG ran polling for 2021 mayoral candidate Scott Stringer. [4] GSG notably served as Representative Joe Crowley’s pollster in the 2018 Democratic primary for New York's 14th Congressional District. Though a GSG poll commissioned by Crowley’s campaign found him up 35% versus activist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Crowley ultimately lost to Ocasio-Cortez by 15%. [5] [6] References

Hello again,
I'm returning to propose updates to the Outside of New York subsection. First, I'd like to ask that the section heading be changed to National work. While GSG once worked primarily with New York-based clients, the NY/non-NY dichotomy no longer describes the firm's business. It is now, as I think the revised section below establishes, a national firm with a particularly big footprint in NY politics.
As I did above with the New York State section, I've put together a side-by-side that shows all the changes I'm looking to make. I'll briefly summarize those:
Here is the side-by-side:

Global Strategy Group is one of the largest Democratic polling firms in America. [1] Its past clients have included Al Gore during his 2000 presidential run, [2] John Edwards in 2008, [3] former Governor of Iowa Chet Culver, [4] and former Governor of Montana Brian Schweitzer. [5] The firm has also done polling for Democratic candidates including Governors J.B. Pritzker, [6] Janet Mills, [7] and Josh Shapiro; [8] Senators Ed Markey and Jacky Rosen; [9] and Representatives Gabe Vasquez, [10] Sharice Davids, [11] and Steven Horsford. [12] It regularly works with Democratic organizations such as the Democratic Governors Association, [13] Priorities USA, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. [14] In 2018, GSG's Jefrey Pollock and Nick Gourevitch, with other Democratic strategists, founded a polling project called Navigator Research. The project aims to provide research that helps Democratic candidates, committees, and pundits develop messaging that the voting public is likely to find persuasive. [15] In 2016, GSG worked for Coloradans for Coloradans, an advocacy group that campaigned against an initiative to establish a single-payer healthcare system in Colorado. [16] In 2020, GSG worked for Michael Bloomberg’s presidential campaign, and conducted polling that found that Bernie Sanders would damage the prospects of Democratic candidates if he was the party’s presidential nominee. [17] GSG was hired by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) to conduct polling on the 2020 Senate race in Georgia. GSG's research found that David Purdue, who went on to be defeated by Democratic Jon Ossoff, [18] was seen unfavorably by a plurality of voters. [19] In early 2021, GSG and four other large Democratic polling firms led an internal review of the factors that caused them to make certain inaccurate predictions ahead of the 2020 election. [1] The group released recommendations intended to improve polling accuracy in future elections. [20] In 2022, GSG worked with the Center for American Progress Action Fund on a research project gauging voter attitudes toward the term "MAGA Republican". This research, which found that most voters view the term negatively, was used by the Biden White House in composing a speech that was critical of Donald Trump and the "ultra MAGA agenda." [21] Since 2013, GSG has delivered an annual "Business & Politics" study, which reports on issues at the intersection of the public and private sectors. [22] References

Hello,
I've returned to this Talk page to propose an all-new Advocacy campaigns section. While the article does a solid job summarizing GSG's work in electoral politics and within the corporate sector, it doesn't currently have anything about the significant amount of work the firm has done on political and social issues such as abortion access, gun safety, and criminal justice reform. This new section addresses that information gap by detailing some of the more high-profile advocacy projects GSG has been involved in over the past several years.

Global Strategy Group has worked on social and political issues such as abortion access, gun safety, and criminal justice reform. In 2020, the firm collaborated with Reproductive Freedom for All to survey mainstream media coverage of abortion. Their report discovered that despite 78 percent of the American public favoring abortion "at least in some circumstances," only nine percent of press coverage mentioned this broad consensus. [5] GSG has also done polling that measures public opinion of Planned Parenthood. [6] [7] In 2022, the firm successfully worked against a referendum that would have taken away a woman's guaranteed right to abortion in Kansas. [8] In 2023, it aided the successful Issue 1 campaign in Ohio, which codified abortion rights in the state's constitution. [9] In 2022, the firm successfully worked against a referendum that would have taken away a woman's guaranteed right to abortion in Kansas.[4] In 2023, it aided the Issue 1 campaign in Ohio, which codified abortion rights in the state constitution. In 2020, GSG worked with Everytown for Gun Safety to determine that most Pennsylvania voters were in favor of stronger gun safety laws. [10] GSG worked with Everytown again in 2022 on polling that found significant public support for an Illinois bill banning the sale of assault weapons and raising the state's gun-buying age to 21. [11] As part of a 2017 effort by the New York City's Independent Commission on Criminal Justice and Incarceration Reform to close Rikers Island, [12] GSG and the Center for Justice Innovation released polling suggesting that most New York residents supported criminal justice reforms that would reduce the city's prison population. [13] In 2021, GSG and the Equal Justice Initiative released a study comparing media coverage of white and Black defendants in criminal cases. The study found that white defendants were often portrayed in a more sympathetic light. [14] In 2020, GSG collaborated with Color of Change and UnidosUS to investigate the distribution of Paycheck Protection Program funds. Their report found that relatively few Black and Latino small business owners received federal loans compared to their white counterparts. [15] In 2019, GSG and the American Lung Association began publishing an annual poll that measures how Americans feel about clean air and climate action issues, such as investment in renewable fuels and emissions-free vehicles. [16] [17] GSG worked with the Environmental Defense Fund and Natural Resources Defense Council in 2022 on polling that indicates a majority of the public is concerned about air pollution and would support laws to reduce it. [18] GSG has also reported on how parents and teachers view education-related issues, such as post-COVID learning loss [19] and the utility of K-12 math education. [20] The firm has done polling gauging voter opinion on U.S. immigration policy [21] [22] and ballot access. [23] References
