Delta Public Strategies Launches to Deliver Transformative Public Affairs and Government Relations Solutions
New Woman-Owned Firm Brings Bold Strategies, Creative Thinking, and Deep Policy Expertise to Help Clients Succeed
NASHVILLE, TN – Delta Public Strategies, a woman-owned public affairs and government relations firm, officially launched this month. Founded by seasoned public affairs strategist Emily Cupples, Delta Public Strategies is built on the belief that every client defines success differently—each project requires innovative, strategic, and personalized approaches to advocacy, communications, and community engagement.
“Launching Delta Public Strategies is the culmination of years spent learning from incredible mentors, navigating complex political landscapes, and working on high-stakes public affairs efforts. From campaign war rooms to corporate boardrooms, I’ve had the privilege of working with and learning from the best—strategists, lobbyists, and advocates. I’ve seen firsthand how the right strategy, message, and coalition can change outcomes. Public affairs is about more than just influence; it’s about building coalitions, shaping narratives, and creating lasting impact. And that’s exactly what Delta Public Strategies is here to do.” – Emily Cupples, founder and principal of Delta Public Strategies
