Who We Are
The Smash Strategy partners have decades of experience, working both internationally and domestically on politics, policy and advocacy. We understand the public and private sectors and how to use those platforms to propel sustainable change.
Experience and Understanding
Our advice is shaped by two things: the women and girls we have worked with in over 100 countries and our understanding of how high-level global actors see the world.
Questions and Conversations
We bring these experiences together to provide our clients effective strategies that make a difference. We ask the right questions and start the right conversations.
