WHAT WE ARE

Individual citizens of one city-state were often appointed or awarded the honorific title of 'Proxenos' by a neighboring or distant city-state, responsible for promoting and facilitating interaction between communities, using their influence and networks to promote the ideas, objectives, and policies of their adopted community. 

Prior to its consolidation under the Roman Empire, the ancient Mediterranean world comprised one of the most fragmented state systems in recorded history. As a result, Athenians created a highly developed form of public diplomacy - or 'proxeny' - which enabled individual cities to maintain diffuse networks, connecting them around the world.  

The ancient principles of proxeny are at the core of our modern results: delivering public diplomacy, redefining policy, capturing effective engagement strategies, and executing programming to help our clients achieve extraordinary things.
