Consensus Strategies is a national consulting firm specializing in land use politics, public opinion research, and strategic advocacy. With a track record of success on over 2,000 projects across 48 states and five countries, we help clients navigate complex regulatory environments, manage opposition, and build winning coalitions for development, energy, infrastructure, and public policy initiatives. We are recognized leaders in public opinion research, having conducted polling in 23 countries and across every major U.S. market. Our proprietary methods uncover the motivations and concerns of stakeholders—residents, elected officials, interest groups, and covert operatives—allowing our clients to anticipate resistance and craft compelling campaigns that win approvals. Consensus Strategies also provides political due diligence, entitlement strategy, litigation support, and crisis communications. Our clients range from Fortune 500 companies to local developers, universities, and nonprofit organizations. Whether you’re facing NIMBY backlash, regulatory gridlock, or shifting public sentiment, we deliver the insights and strategies needed to move projects forward. We wrote the book on land use politics—literally. Our founder, Patrick F. Fox, is the author of Mastering Land Use Politics: Dealing with NIMBYs, YIMBYs, and Covert Operatives (2025), a field manual for navigating the modern development battlefield.
