Manhattan Strategy Group

About MSG

Manhattan Strategy Group (MSG) is an innovative management and social sciences consulting firm dedicated to advancing programs and fostering positive social change. Our social capitalism business philosophy accomplishes four primary objectives: 1) conscious leadership that inspires loyalty and high performance, 2) demonstrating a deep commitment by engaging in social issues beyond the client experience, 3) dedication to a values-based culture, and 4) believing in a higher purpose by giving back to the community. Our approach is rooted in liberty, integrity, and justice – where success is the manifestation of connecting people to purpose, mission, and meaning. Our experienced team provides comprehensive solutions through training and technical assistance, research and evaluation, marketing and communications, information technology, and program management. Our markets include education, human services, workforce development, and international trade and development.

Our government and other clients benefit from MSG’s passionate, experienced, and award-winning staff who take a collaborative approach to achieve measurable success. We always look for ways to bring added value to our client experience – from the think tank we mobilized to create COVID-19 TotalResponse, to the Virtual Event Center that offers engaging approaches to meetings, conferences, and trainings. Our innovations are unparalleled in the consulting field because they are developed by highly skilled, creative, and experienced experts.

Founded in New York in 2001, MSG is a Bethesda, MD-based small business. In 2008, we expanded to federal contracts, winning our first with the U.S. Department of Education, which remains our largest market. MSG works with 13 federal agencies across a number of service lines:

Partnering with Clients as a Trusted Advisor

MSG provides independent, unbiased solutions. We value open and honest communication and provide continuous client feedback that builds on what we are learning to ensure goals and objectives are met – on time and on budget.

Customized, Flexible, and Creative Project Designs

Before a work plan and program is developed, MSG takes time to understand the need or problem, the audience and desired action, the agency goals and intended outcomes, and how best to measure progress. Our results-driven approach and unique tools set the stage for efficiency, effectiveness, and proven results.

At all turns of a project, MSG strives to deliver exceptional value to our clients. We staff contracts with exceptional skills and capabilities, without the overhead costs of a larger firm. MSG’s innovation and investment in advanced technology means access to the best tools at lower cost.
