We make a way out of no way

We are intentionally unconventional.  

Rick Jacobs founded NotionLink because “the way it’s always been done” rarely applies in the 21st century. When Fortune 500 companies, global brands, national campaigns, labor unions, high-profile individuals and high-impact organizations are stuck, they engage us to find a way forward that generates profits, policy changes, political wins and progress for those in need.  

Every day, we work with our clients to shape their stories, advance their priorities and navigate crisis.
