WASHINGTON, July 26, 2023 -- This week marks the official launch of Modern Fortis, a new kind of advocacy firm with an unwavering commitment to the public good. Leveraging the best of our sister company Modern Cartographers' sophisticated grassroots technology, we are mission-driven and committed to pushing for changes to help heal the wounds dividing this nation — e.g., strengthening communities, improving public safety, and advancing policies that promote the public good.
Modern Fortis was born from its founder Joe Cameron’s idea that West Coast ingenuity could be integrated with East Coast hustle to provide the best of both worlds for our country, clients, and partners. With Managing Partner Emily Coyle, the two conceived of a bipartisan policy shop integrating tech solutions and political expertise with best-in-class service modeled on Coyle’s decade supporting executive leadership at a Big 4 global audit firm. Partner Margo Klosterman is the pair’s first hire and brings deep experience with associations and coalition building in Washington.
Modern Fortis is set to transform the landscape of federal, state, and local engagement. Its platforms combine the best of tech advocacy: micro-targeting stakeholders and policymakers at scale. Their approach leverages proprietary data, modern analytics, and unique digital toolsets to help clients achieve their public affairs goals.
Kathleen Rice (D-NY), who stepped down from her moderate House seat in Long Island last year, commented, “I was delighted to hear about the fresh approach. Private sector leaders committed to healing this nation – that’s exactly what we need.” Ms. Rice, a well-respected centrist, continued, "I’ve worked with Emily for nearly a decade. She’s a bipartisan problem solver – committed to finding solutions that benefit the American people and is well known and liked by Members on both sides of the aisle.” Ms. Rice will support Modern Fortis’ efforts through her firm in New York City, “I look forward to partnering with the team. We’re working together to find a path forward on critical issues like public safety and economic security.”
Marty Fiorentino, President of The Fiorentino Group, added that “while I’ll miss Margo in our firm, this is an outstanding opportunity for her and one that was too good to pass up. I thank her for the important work she did on behalf of our clients, and I wish Margo and her colleagues the best as they advocate for those who protect us each and every day.”
