Our core values are the foundation of who we are at BMG, brought to life by the people who live them every day. We asked a few members of our team to share what our values mean to them. Swipe to read what they had to say.

At BMG, although we are a remote-first team, with reach across the country, it has never stopped us from building something special together. Through bmgCares, we match our team members' charitable donations to the causes and organizations they care about. Whether it's an adaptive sports program, a local food bank, or a homeless shelter, we want our team to know their values matter here. Giving back is not a side project at BMG. It defines who we are.

The best communicators are not the ones talking the most. They are the ones who know when to listen.

Every strong message starts with understanding your audience. Who are they? What do they already believe? What are they worried, frustrated, or unsure about?

Skip asking these questions, and even the most polished message will miss the mark.

Listening first means reading the room, asking what your audience needs to hear, and noticing the questions people keep asking.

Great communication is not about being the loudest voice in the room. It is about listening well enough to know what needs to be said.

Team Spotlight: Molly McCarthy, Senior Graphic Designer at bmgstrategies!

Molly has been with BMG for three and a half years, now serving as Senior Graphic Designer and building the visual identity behind our clients' biggest moments.

Molly's motivation comes down to the people (and pets) closest to her. Her dog, Lyla, and husband, Justin, waiting for her at the end of the day, are a big reminder of that. At work, Molly finds a similar sense of support through her coworkers. “I consider many of my coworkers close friends, and we have each other's backs," she says.

That instinct to show up for others extends well beyond the office. This year, Molly is using bmgCares' new volunteer day program to spend her birthday at the local soup kitchen or supporting her husband, who works with the Doctors Without Walls volunteer group. The organization delivers healthcare and essential services directly to the unhoused and vulnerable communities in Santa Barbara.

In her free time, you can find Molly planning her next trip! She has visited 15 countries and 40+ cities, with more destinations she hopes to visit.

We appreciate everything you bring to BMG, Molly!

3 states. 5 days. $2 billion investment.

Last week, our team traveled across the country on behalf of an international pharmaceutical company and conducted a comprehensive site selection process in support of its next major U.S. manufacturing facility.

Our role was to help our client cut through the noise on incentives, infrastructure, workforce, and community readiness, so they can make a confident, well-informed investment decision.

It's a reminder of what site selection and public affairs work really looks like behind the scenes: boots on the ground, relationships in every statehouse, and a sharp eye for what actually moves a project forward.

Proud of this team for the hard work and preparation they bring every single day.

What if the best leadership moment you ever gave someone is one you don't even remember?

Drew Dudley's TED Talk "Everyday Leadership" reframes leadership entirely. Instead of grand titles or big moves, he argues real leadership lives in small, unremarkable moments, what he calls "lollipop moments". These are the ones we rarely realize we created, but that quietly change how someone sees themselves.

At bmgstrategies, this resonates with how we think about internal culture and client relationships. The best team dynamics and client partnerships aren't built on big gestures. They're built on small, consistent moments, a specific thank-you, a note of recognition, two minutes of help when someone's stuck. Compounded over time, that's what "helping others grow," one of our values, actually looks like in practice.

Have you ever had a "lollipop moment," one you gave or received, that you still think about?

Sarah joined BMG in January 2018 as a junior associate. Over eight years later, she now has strategic oversight of policy and advocacy work across all our clients, spanning healthcare, food manufacturing, and tax policy, sometimes within the same hour.

"That's really the joy of it," she says. Alongside the variety, she helps shape deliverables, craft memos, and support the rest of the policy team, ensuring, in her words, "everybody is showing up like the stars that they are."

Ask Sarah what she values most about BMG, and she doesn't hesitate: the intellectual challenge and the team. "I love that everybody on this team has an attitude of 'how can I help?'" she says. "People are really willing to turn their day upside down if somebody's in the weeds, which is truly inspiring." This is the culture Sarah sums up in one word: collaborative.

Outside the office, Sarah is the undisputed Christmas Cookie Queen of her family, with twelve varieties every holiday season, no exceptions.

Thank you for everything you bring to this team, Sarah!

On Friday, our team started the day with a special guest at our 9 AM huddle, my dear friend
Larry Small.

Something that I've always admired about Larry is the energy and positivity he brings to
every interaction. That's exactly what he did on our call.

Earlier in the year, Larry joined us at our team retreat in Florida, where he shared the
extraordinary work he does with the Jewish Partisan Educational Program, bringing his
father's story to life and reminding all of us what real courage, resilience, and hope look
like. It's the kind of message that stays with you.

At bmg, we work hard, but we also make space for the kind of connection and inspiration
that makes our work meaningful.

Thank you, Larry, for your friendship and energy, and for reminding the team that there is
always something to be grateful for and inspired by every day.

Companies spend months analyzing tax incentives, utility costs, and logistics networks when selecting a manufacturing site. Then they break ground, and can't find enough workers.

Labor availability isn't a footnote in site selection. It's the whole story.

The best projects don't just count workers; they build workforce pipelines. University and community college partnerships. Apprenticeship programs. High school dual enrollment. Public/private workforce training agreements with local and state government before the first shovel hits the dirt.

That preparation changes everything, including the incentive conversation.

When a company walks into an incentives negotiation with a credible workforce development plan, it signals something powerful to state and local officials: this project will hire. A lot of people. For a long time. That's when incentive packages get serious — because governments aren't just offering tax credits, they're investing in employment outcomes.

Labor availability drives hiring commitments. Hiring commitments drive incentive value. The math is that simple.

The companies winning at site selection aren't waiting for the workforce to show up. They're co-creating it with workforce boards, universities and community colleges, and economic development agencies who have just as much skin in the game.

Site selection is no longer just a real estate decision. It's a workforce strategy.
