Through every major shift of the last quarter-century, we’ve been there, helping clients understand what’s coming next. As our 25th anniversary year officially comes to a close, it feels like we’re on the precipice of another major shift – perhaps the most cinematic one yet. Qorvis is ready.

A Washington PR firm with a history of representing the world's most controversial governments and companies is discovered to be the covert power center connecting politically exposed oil traders to policymakers. Sounds like an episode of “Scandal.” qorvis.com/when-misinformati… 🧵

Last week, Qorvis joined @StateDept Pax Silica Summit, led by Under Secretary @jacobhelberg. Discussions focused on how to strengthen trusted #AI supply chains, deepen cooperation on #criticalminerals and semiconductors, and expand investment in the infrastructure that will underpin the AI economy. Thank you to the State Department for convening these discussions and for bringing business directly into the conversation.

At @Qorvis, we eliminated private offices, built a communal newsroom, and doubled down on what we call physical intelligence: people learning from people in the same room. 100% remote work has real costs. Flexibility works. Human connection matters. 📰 nytimes.com/2026/06/17/opini…

Since our founding in 2000, Qorvis has navigated a lot of change. One thing has remained constant: for 25 years, we’ve stood by our clients through peaks and valleys, helping them manage volatility and global shifts with the human intelligence that comes from being in the room. We kicked off our 25th year at Café Milano with longtime clients, government officials, diplomats, journalists, and dear friends. Cheers to the next 25! #Qorvis25 #StrategicCommunications #Geopolitics #PhysicalIntelligence
