About Brian Walsh

As a Partner at PLUS Communications, I spearhead leading public affairs campaigns that shape policy outcomes for Fortune 500 companies, prominent trade associations, and other industry-leading organizations. Over 25 years of working in Washington's most challenging political and policy arenas has led to recognition from Business Insider as one of the nation's top crisis communications strategists.My expertise spans critical sectors, including financial services, healthcare, trade, agriculture, transportation, and foreign policy. Through integrated communications campaigns and strategic messaging, I help organizations navigate complex policy landscapes and achieve measurable results at local, state, and national levels.My career foundation includes over 15 years of government service on Capitol Hill, where I served as Chief Communications Strategist for U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) during his tenure in Senate leadership. This role, combined with positions as Communications Director for a key congressional committee and senior communications advisor to multiple members of Congress, has given me critical insight into legislative processes and policy-making.Today, I leverage my extensive political network and communications expertise to help organizations achieve their public policy objectives across Washington D.C, and state capitals nationwide. My approach combines strategic counsel, crisis management, media relations, paid advertising, and stakeholder engagement to deliver compelling narratives that drive policy outcomes. Working with C-suite executives and organizational leaders, I approach complex policy challenges with clear, actionable communication strategies that resonate with key decision-makers and shape public discourse.
