*JOINT PRESS RELEASE*
Converge Public Strategies Enters Strategic Alliance With Austin-based Bingham Group
Miami, Florida and Austin, Texas - Miami, Florida-based Converge Public Strategies and Austin, Texas-based The Bingham Group, LLC have entered into a strategic alliance. The strategic alliance adds to Converge’s significant public affairs and government relations capabilities by providing a strong presence at the local level in the Austin Metro market. Through the alliance, The Bingham Group’s clients will gain access to Converge’s multistate capabilities across the U.S., and its state and local capabilities in markets such as Florida, Illinois, and New York.
The Bingham Group was founded and is led by CEO A.J. Bingham, who has more than a decade of experience lobbying at the local level in Austin. Bingham has built a dynamic team that serves businesses, non-profits and trade associations in a wide range of government relations matters. A fixture in the Austin political, civic and business communities, Bingham serves on several boards including Austin FC’s 4ATX Foundation and The University of Texas’s Blanton Museum National Leadership Board.
Converge, founded as a state-level lobbying firm in Florida, has expanded to offer services in markets that include Miami and Jacksonville, Florida; Chicago and Springfield, Illinois; Charleston, South Carolina; Jefferson City, Missouri; and New York City. The firm also supports clients across North America through its multistate practice. Converge represents a wide array of private and public sector clients, and has become well-known for its representation of technology clients. Last year, the firm launched its Converge Transport division, in recognition of its extensive representation of transportation and mobility innovation clients.
Jonathan Kilman, Chairman and CEO of Converge Public Strategies, said of the strategic alliance, “I’ve developed a great relationship with A.J. over the last few years, and I’ve watched his firm in Austin grow and thrive. The clients we’ve referred to The Bingham Group rave about their relationships and execution. As a firm with extensive clients in the technology sector, we see Austin as a natural place to extend our capabilities, and The Bingham Group is a fantastic fit.”
A.J. Bingham said, “I first learned about Converge on a government relations podcast, and through a series of conversations across the country realized how strong the firm and its brand have become, especially in tech circles. The opportunity to affiliate with Jonathan and the other top-tier professionals at Converge will add tremendous value to The Bingham Group’s clients. We will provide the same premier service to Converge clients who have needs in the Austin area.”
