Bryson Gillette

The story of Bryson Gillette is a deeply American one, rooted in family history and a commitment to making a difference. The firm's name itself is a tribute to the founder's grandparents, originating from the two streets they lived on in Buffalo. This foundation reflects a deep sense of pride in heritage and a desire to honor the generations that paved the way. Founded in January 2020 by Bill Burton, a seasoned political and communications strategist with experience as a senior adviser to President Barack Obama, the firm started with just two employees and a single client. From these humble beginnings, Bryson Gillette has experienced remarkable growth, expanding to a team of nearly 30 and serving over 100 clients in the political and public affairs spheres.

As a minority-owned public affairs firm, Bryson Gillette is intentionally diverse, with a team that reflects the rich tapestry of the United States. This commitment to diversity is not just a statistic but a core tenet of their philosophy, believing that varied perspectives are essential for crafting authentic and persuasive campaigns. The firm has carved a niche for itself by working with non-traditional leaders and focusing on critical contemporary issues like social technology reform. They have been at the forefront of major national conversations, guiding figures like Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen and the Center for Humane Technology through the release of the impactful documentary 'The Social Dilemma'. Their work extends to amplifying the voices of marginalized communities, partnering with law firms fighting for survivors of childhood sexual abuse and coalitions advocating for the increased representation of disabled individuals in Hollywood. With offices in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., Bryson Gillette continues to expand its influence, driven by a mission to create a more just, safe, and prosperous world for all.
