In a record-breaking year for federal lobbying—topping $4.5 billion in total spending—A10 Associates has once again been named one of the nation’s top-performing lobbying firms, according to Bloomberg Government’s 2024 report.
We are incredibly proud to be recognized in this prestigious list, but more than that—we’re proud of what this says about our impact, our clients, and our approach. In a competitive year marked by elections, economic uncertainty, and aggressive rulemaking, results mattered more than ever. And that’s exactly what we delivered.
A Banner Year for Public Affairs
Despite political gridlock and an election-year focus on headline issues, lobbying revenue surged past inflation in 2024, signaling not just increased activity—but increased expectations. With federal spending surpassing $4.5 billion, the industry is proving its value in both traditional sectors like tax, healthcare, and appropriations, and in fast-evolving areas such as artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency.
At A10 Associates, we’re not just witnessing the shift—we’re helping lead it. Across our portfolio, clients are demanding more than access. They want a team that executes with purpose, navigates complexity, and delivers measurable policy wins. That’s exactly what we do.
The art of the lobbyist has changed. Where the field once relied primarily on relationships, today’s public affairs strategy requires accountability, strategic execution, and results. Relationships still matter—but the firms that thrive are the ones who know how to turn access into action, and insights into impact.
The reality is clear:
- Lobbying expenditures hit record highs not because of influence alone, but because of its proven ability to shape regulation, policy, and funding.
- Clients now expect strategic guidance, data-informed advocacy, and transparent, ethical execution in navigating legislative and regulatory environments.
- The modern lobbyist must blend deep policy knowledge with sharp market instincts—responding in real time to a rapidly changing political and economic landscape.
How A10 Associates Stands Out
Our firm’s growth is a direct result of the trust our clients place in us, and the tenacity our team brings to every engagement. We’ve supported startups and Fortune 500s alike in:
- Securing non-dilutive capital (including DOE and DOT grants, loan programs, and economic development incentives)
- Navigating complex legislative and regulatory processes at both the state and federal levels
- Aligning clients with timely government priorities to unlock funding and accelerate impact
- Developing bipartisan strategies that stand strong, even as administrations shift
“We’re incredibly proud to be recognized among the nation’s top firms,” said Jessica Tocco, Founder & CEO of A10 Associates. “This honor is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our team, the trust of our clients, and our commitment to strategy, execution, and results.”
As a woman-owned bipartisan firm operating in 36 states and in Washington, D.C., we deliver public affairs strategies that are data-driven, policy-smart, and outcome-oriented. Our growth is not just a reflection of our relationships—it’s proof of our ability to turn strategy into lasting results.
Why This Matters to You
Recognition like this is not just a feather in our cap—it’s proof that our methods work. Whether you’re scaling your company, expanding operations, entering a regulated market, or seeking public-private partnerships, A10 Associates has the insight, relationships, and executional power to help you get there.
In 2024, the firms that win are the ones who understand how to move policy and money. We do both.
