463 Communications Launches; PR Firm is First to Solely Focus on Policy Communications for the Technology Industry
Tech industry policy communications firm starts with strong client list including VeriSign, TechNet, CSPP and an alliance with Next Fifteen Communications Group
Washington, DC, and San Francisco, Calif. – 463 Communications, LLC today announced the launch of its public relations business. The new firm is dedicated to positioning technology companies, organizations and coalitions in global policy debates. 463 Communications has opened offices in Washington, DC and San Francisco and is creating a network of partners in Europe and Asia through a relationship with Next Fifteen Communications Group, the global technology public relations firm.
“The Internet and telecommunications sector is coming under increasing regulatory pressure. The outcomes of policy debates such as RFID, cyber security, VOIP and broadband will determine the success of high-tech companies over the next decade,” said Tim Dyson, CEO of Next Fifteen and the new chairman of the Board of 463 Communications. Next Fifteen’s alliance with 463 will help Next Fifteen clients navigate through and position themselves in high-tech policy debates.
463 Communications founding partners are:
Tom Galvin. Formerly vice president of Public Affairs at VeriSign, Inc., Galvin has extensive experience in Washington and Silicon Valley. Prior to VeriSign, Galvin worked for Cisco Systems, first creating its Washington communications shop and then leading its Corporate Public Relations efforts in San Jose. Galvin also spent over a decade in Washington as a political reporter, covering the White House, Congress and elections. He is based in Washington, DC.
Sean Garrett. In 1997, Garrett helped launch TechNet and led the group’s communications efforts for its first two years, Garrett has extensive political and high-tech experience. A former aide to California Gov. Pete Wilson, Garrett is formerly vice president of Bite Communications. Garrett also led PR efforts for Listen.com, managed the technology policy practice at Alexander Communications, and has served as spokesperson for several California statewide political campaigns. He is based in San Francisco.
Jim Hock. A Capitol Hill veteran, Hock served six years in Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s office in the role of press secretary, speechwriter and spokesman. In this capacity, Hock served as an advisor to the Senator on a variety of technology policy issues ranging from privacy, H1B visa reform, education and encryption. Hock also served as a legislative assistant with the city of Los Angeles. He is formerly director of policy communications at Bite Communications. He is based in Washington, DC.

"The people at 463 are the best in the business. This team knows policy, knows technology and knows how to communicate for results in the public policy process," said Rick White, CEO and President of TechNet "TechNet has worked with several PR agencies and no other understands Silicon Valley and Washington as well."
In addition to TechNet, 463 Communications is already working with several leaders of the Innovation Economy, including VeriSign and the Computer Systems Policy Project.
“In an era of emerging and converging technologies, corporations can no longer afford to ignore the policy debates occurring in Washington, in the states, or taking place overseas,” said Bruce Mehlman, former assistant secretary of Commerce and now partner of the public affairs firm Mehlman & Vogel, Inc. “463 will be successful because it will work closely with firms such as ours to provide the strategic PR counsel critical to the success of public affairs campaigns.”
463 Communications core offerings are:
Policy Strategy Development. Through their collective 50 years of experience, 463’s partners are able to develop effective strategies that solve their clients pressing policy challenges.
Issue Management. 463 develops and ties together disparate activities and harnesses them into focused measurable campaigns that drive strategy.
Public Affairs Advocacy. Their relationships with policy makers, the media, pre-eminent lobbyists, legal experts and academics enable 463 to develop relevant and effective advocacy campaigns that shape and define policy debates.
Crisis Communications. With years of experience, 463’s partners have navigated through every type of crisis that can affect a company or organization. They bring to the table all of the tools needed to manage a crisis: a communications playbook, media training, internal communications, customer communications, spokesman role ability and media tracking.
Thought Leadership. By knowing the issues, 463 develops data and unique perspectives that enable its clients to stand out and drive policy debates. Through speaking opportunities, op-eds, forums and governmental partnerships, 463 shapes and manages clients’ reputations in the policy arena and help them dominate policy discussions.
“What is unique about 463 Communications is that we are just as comfortable discussing technology in Silicon Valley as we are debating politics and policy in Washington, DC,” said 463 partner Tom Galvin. “We are the first firm solely devoted to advancing high-tech interests before governments and policy makers.”
As part of 463’s alliance with Next Fifteen, the firm will also work with other Next Fifteen companies, including the leading technology public relations firms, Bite Communications, Text100 and AugustOne. In fact, 463 is already working with Text100 and Bite Communications to provide policy communications consulting to their clients, such as Cadence Design Systems.
“Through our strong relationship with Next Fifteen we will be able to provide significant policy expertise and communications strategy internationally,” said 463 partner Jim Hock. “This is crucial because technology policy issues are rising in importance before the European Union and Asian governments every day.”
463 Communications today also announced the establishment of its Advisory Committee. Initial members include TechNet CEO Rick White; Former Assistant Secretary of Commerce Bruce Mehlman; Gore 2000 Deputy Campaign Manager Mark Fabiani; Kerry 2004 Communications Director Stephanie Cutter; Silicon Valley communications expert Lorene Arey; AOL Corporate Communications Vice President Andrew Weinstein; and, Steve Langdon of Google Corporate PR.

We wish to thank you just as before for the stunning ideas you gave Jeremy when preparing her post-graduate research and, most importantly, with regard to providing all of the ideas in a blog post. Provided we had been aware of your blog a year ago, we might have been saved the nonessential measures we were choosing. Thanks to you.

Currently it sounds like Expression Engine is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you're using on your blog?

An attention-grabbing dialogue is price comment. I think that it's best to write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo topic but usually individuals are not sufficient to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers

This is the perfect website for everyone who wishes to find out about this topic. You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I personally will need to…HaHa). You certainly put a new spin on a topic that's been written about for many years. Excellent stuff, just excellent!

Howdy! This blog post couldn’t be written any better! Looking through this article reminds me of my previous roommate! He continually kept talking about this. I will send this article to him. Pretty sure he's going to have a great read. I appreciate you for sharing!

I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm very happy I stumbled across this during my search for something concerning this.

Oh my goodness! Incredible article dude! Thank you so much, However I am experiencing issues with your RSS. I don’t know why I am unable to join it. Is there anybody getting similar RSS issues? Anyone who knows the solution can you kindly respond? Thanx!!
