Tampa Bay-based lobbying firm RSA Consulting is continuing to expand with the addition of event director Brittany DesMarais and new talent Will George.

DesMarais joins the team as Director of Client Relations and Special Events, while George will work as RSA’s Government & Community Affairs Coordinator. The firm said the new additions will support its lobbying team to enhance the depth and breadth of its consulting services and growing events services.

With the new additions, RSA Consulting now sports a 10-person team.

The Tampa Bay-based firm represents some of the region — and state’s — largest cultural arts, sports and entertainment venues. Among its roster of more than 90 clients is Amalie Arena, the Straz Center for Performing Arts, Tampa Theatre, the Florida Aquarium, and Tampa Sports Authority, which manages Raymond James Stadium and other regional sporting venues.

“As we grow our client roster both in the Tampa Bay region and across the state, Brittany and Will play a critical role in ensuring RSA continues to deliver the high-quality services that are tailored to the needs of each and every client,” firm President and CEO Ron Pierce said.

RSA described 2023 as “a pivotal year” for the firm’s growth. Last year also saw the boutique firm add two new team members and expand its Tallahassee office, giving it a year-round base in the capital city. The same year, RSA was named INFLUENCE Magazine’s Mid-sized Lobbying Firm of the Year.”
