Growing footprint Schooner Strategies is a small to mid-sized firm with a multi-decade track record and a focus on policy development, government relations, and strategic communications. This combination suggests potential for expanding services into new clients in the healthcare, accreditation, and technology sectors that require regulatory affairs and public affairs support.

Leverage tech The firm emphasizes using the latest technology and engagement trends and maintains a tech stack including WordPress, Google Analytics, and Google Search Console. This openness to digital marketing and analytics can be pitched to clients seeking data-driven marketing, market research, and performance tracking improvements.

Senior leadership Recent leadership additions, such as the appointment of Monique Yohanan to the senior team, signal ongoing strategic growth and credibility. This can be leveraged to propose advanced thought leadership engagements, executive advisory projects, and expanded governance communications for larger clients.

Affordable scale Positioned as affordable and scalable, Schooner Strategies can target small- to mid-market organizations within healthcare, trade associations, and technology sectors that need flexible strategic support, allowing for upsell into ongoing retainer relationships and modular service packages.

Regulatory focus Historical offerings include regulatory affairs, accreditation research, and regulatory information resources (RegQuest). This creates opportunities to cross-sell to healthcare providers, regulators, and payer organizations seeking compliance intelligence, policy updates, and regulatory risk assessment.
