Introducing: NEXT Public Affairs 

A New Public Affairs and Strategic Advisory Firm Built for What’s Ahead

CHICAGO – A new strategic advisory and public affairs firm with national reach has entered the field with the launch of NEXT Public Affairs, a firm founded by Greg Goldner and led by the core team behind Resolute Public Affairs. NEXT Public Affairs is purpose built to help organizations navigate today’s increasingly high‑stakes public environment, and emerges with a deep legacy of trusted counsel, crisis-tested experience and hard-earned insight into how policy, reputation and business intersect. While the firm draws from decades of proven expertise, its mission is not to replicate the past — but to lead what comes next.

“NEXT Public Affairs was born from deep experience and built for what’s ahead,” said Greg Goldner, founder of NEXT Public Affairs. “We’ve helped clients manage their most defining moments, and we understand how fast the landscape can shift. NEXT is about meeting that moment with clarity, speed and strategy that drives results.”

Beyond a name, NEXT represents the firm’s philosophy: to stand at the intersection of what’s now and what’s next — helping clients move forward with intention, confidence and impact. Whether a situation calls for quiet strength or bold, public action, NEXT provides the strategic guidance and execution needed to move with purpose.

In an era where timing, trust and foresight can determine the outcome of an issue, NEXT Public Affairs partners with clients facing complex challenges, uncertain terrain, and heightened public scrutiny. The firm delivers:

  • High-level strategic counsel for fast-moving policy, reputational and operational environments
  • Messaging built to resonate with those audiences who matter
  • Impact-oriented engagement to help clients shape conversations and outcomes
  • Discreet, steady, high-trust support for sensitive or crisis situations
