About Steer PR

Based right outside of Washington, D.C., Steer PR is a full-service boutique strategic communications and public affairs firm operating at the nexus of national security, policy, and business.

We believe communications should serve a purpose beyond messaging—it should advance the causes and communities that strengthen America and its allies. Guided by this conviction, we partner with leaders, innovators, and organizations to shape narratives, build credibility, and navigate an increasingly complex media and policy landscape.

Our work spans thought leadership, reputation management, media relations, digital strategy, and high-impact storytelling that moves opinion, drives results, and supports those dedicated to securing our nation’s future at home and abroad.
