"D&P Creative Strategies launched my career in government affairs--full stop. D&P's leadership intentionally fostered my professional growth by providing me meaningful exposure to different industries and by giving me direct responsibilities to work with a wide pool of clients, including Fortune 500 companies. The wide range of clients they work with was key to helping me find a sector that I am passionate about.  I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for the reputation and power that the D&P team yield in this field and in this city. "

John LoPorto
Public Affairs Specialist, State of Michigan
Former US Government Affairs Professional at Mcdonald's
​
"I had the privilege of being a D&P Fellow 2014 - 2015. When I came to Washington, I was fresh out of graduate school, I knew no one in DC, and I was itching to make a difference. D&P gave me the tools, training, and friendship that enabled me to understand the complicated world of DC politics. Today, as a government relations manager for McDonald’s responsible for legislative outreach at the state, local, and federal levels, I rely on the foundation created by D&P to effectively communicate, influence policy, and do the right thing. Like they say, it’s “consulting with a social conscience”, and that conscience follows you wherever your career may go!"

"As an intern in 2019, D&P Creative Strategies offered me incredible hands-on opportunities. Their work environment provided unlimited growth and knowledge. Working as a team from drafting e-mails to planning events for the firm's influential clients, my time with D&P was my most enriching experience to date."
