Pragmatic Policy Group

Pragmatic Policy Group is proud to partner with Arise to amplify the voices of the diverse group of Americans using Arise’s market-leading platform to deliver exceptional service to customers of the world’s biggest brands. Working closely with the Congressional Black Caucus and the National Black Caucus of State Legislators, we told Arise’s unique and powerful story of economic empowerment and ensured that the authentic perspectives of Arise’s service partner community – who are 87% women and 47% Black or African American – were heard by all federal and state policymakers. Alongside amazing community partners like the Black Chambers of Commerce and Collective PAC, Arise showcased its driving role in fostering economic opportunity for people who rely on flexible work to make time for what really matters in their lives – whether it’s caring for a loved one, pursuing an education or relocating as a military spouse to support their family. #flexiblework #empowerment #economy #cx #policy #community Thank you to Mohit Thukral for his visionary leadership at Arise and Angela Bowie for her ability to bring community along wherever she goes.

The content creator economy is one of the fastest-growing sectors globally, projected to be worth over half a trillion dollars by 2027. We are very proud to partner with Linktree, the leading link–in-bio platform, to amplify the voices of 9 million Linkers across the United States and all creators who have chosen this innovative and flexible way to work. Together, we visited the offices of 30 Members of the U.S. Congress in Washington D.C. to brief them on how creators are rapidly becoming an economic powerhouse. Linktree underscored the urgent need for new policies to ensure that creators receive fair pay and stronger protections as they build a better future for news production, information discovery, entertainment and social commerce. Thank you to Rosanna Biggs Alex Zaccaria and Nick Humphreys for their far-sighted leadership on these issues that matter so much to creators. #creatoreconomy #creators #influencers #policy #tech #flexiblework

It’s a myth that governments are responsible for the economy. Businesses create jobs and invest. Governments only need to step in during crises when the private sector retreats or reform the economy to boost productivity and take care of the most vulnerable in our community. #USA #USElections #USPresidents
