Policy Development Group [PDG] is a public affairs/government relations firm founded in Phoenix, Arizona in 1991. PDG represents its clients at all levels of government [local, county, state, and federal]. The company is affiliated with a Washington, D.C. media relations and production firm. PDG has also forged strategic relationships with London, England-based ABA Management Consultants, specializing in leadership development and team building, as well as several public affairs firms in Washington, D.C. and across the country.

In October of 2000, PDG started Critical Public Relations (CPR), a full service strategic public relations firm. Before CPR was established there were times when PDG referred clients elsewhere when they had special public relations and media needs. PDG's goal was to create a free-standing sister company that would offer additional services to their current clients. CPR provides media relations and crisis communications counsel; creates and produces media events; develops and wages grassroots community-based campaigns; and creates on-line public relations and video opportunities for clients.
