The Berman Company

"We are in the business of making sure citizens know the whole story"
Emma Calhoun, Public Relations Officer circa 2025

The company is headed by a President with a classic private company structure with VPs, CFOs, and other essential top management positions.

Public Agenda

The Berman Company, according to their site, are "dedicated to letting candidates and their causes be understood by the people who make up their communities."
Although established a public relations and research organization in the 21st century under the name Berman and Company, the 2162 iteration is now heavily focused on advising election campaigns. They still focus on lobbying and public opinion research, but election advisement is now the biggest part of their business model.

Assets

The best resource that The Berman Company has is it's extensive public opinion research network, making connections with software companies to be able to track and survey individuals without them knowing exactly the intention of the survey.
Currently, the company is worth 61.5 million dollars.

History

You can find the history of Berman and Company, the original name of the corporation, on their current wikipedia page.
After the 2022 executive order, Berman and Company did not anticipate the flood of business they would receive the following year. They became instrumental in establishing public campaigns for corporations to separate from the states they resided in. They were particularly instrumental in forming Coca-Cola Country. They are associated with helping establish about eight total corporate nations before most states officially outlawed the concept of sovereign nations between their borders.
Local politicians across the country did not like losing their power over these persuasive campaigns. Some began to pool their resources and even receive donations from their constituents to pursue aid from the same company that could threaten their futures. By this time, founder Richard Berman had taken his retirement, and the remaining executive staff realized the profit potential, although not substantial, would be foolish to miss. They began with these small campaigns in the middle of 2026. At that time they changed their name to The Berman Company to better reflect their ownership and expansion of customer base.
This move has proven to be a vital key to the company's longevity. The other key has been their ability to operate secretly. Over the years their methods have become extremely covert. Sometimes their clients do not recognize their plans at they come to fruition, which typically works in favor for the desired outcome. This has resulted in statemen complaining about certain protests or news reports that The Berman Company had specifically planted for those statesmen to react to.
Around the 2110s, although not even current leadership knows exactly when, The Berman Company began to dabble with corporate nation espionage. It is not their specialty, but they do know of certain contractors that have aided in research, legal or otherwise.
