Intelligence with a human touch.

Cortex keeps you informed about the events, news, and opportunities shaping your world, and why it matters.

Cortex is an exclusive political and corporate intelligence offering for clients in dynamic, high-risk fields. We’ve taken the best components of a political war room, with seasoned analysts and crisis communications experts, and combined them with exclusive risk intelligence tools: a turnkey solution to track the players, problems, and politics driving outcomes in real time.

Our team serves as a cortex to your campaign, c-suite, government affairs, or communications team: an outside layer processing high volumes of information and delivering the critical insight to advise a course of action. Every engagement is a curated analysis service built around your specific needs: news, social mentions, sentiment tracking, reputation management, policy and regulatory updates, legislation, and procurement opportunities.
