The Italian word “atrio” translates in English to “lobby” or “entrance hall.” Lobbying, as we now know it, started with petitioners waiting in the lobbies of the British Parliament and the Willard Hotel in Washington, DC. These early lobbyists hoped to encounter politicians walking through the building in order to influence them on a particular issue. But the meaning behind Atrio Consulting’s name goes beyond the roots of lobbying.

The firm was started with the goal to ensure each and every client feels as though they are being welcomed into the entrance or lobby of a close friend’s home, receiving a level of personalized care and attention that will ensure your organization’s voice is heard and goals are met.
