ST. LOUIS, MO – Mazur & Co., a boutique strategic consulting firm, is thrilled to announce the addition of Channing Ansley Grate as a principal, marking a significant expansion of the firm’s expertise and geographic reach. With her appointment, Mazur & Co. now extends its team presence beyond the Midwest and into Washington, D.C., further strengthening its ability to serve clients nationwide.

Channing brings nearly two decades of experience in public affairs, political campaigns, and strategic communications. Her career has spanned federal and state government service, leadership roles on national and statewide political campaigns, and integrated communications support for local and national nonprofits. Most recently, she served in the Biden-Harris Administration as Associate Administrator for the Office of Strategic Communications at the U.S. General Services Administration, where she led a multi-disciplinary communications team responsible for enterprise-wide internal and external communications.

An expert in integrated communications, message development, and crisis response, Channing has held key roles throughout her career, including Director of Public Affairs at GPS Impact, Communications Director for Missouri Governor Jay Nixon, and Deputy Chief of Staff on the Hillary for America campaign. Her multi-sector experience using communications to advance policy and business goals, combined with her ability to translate complex policy issues into clear, accessible messaging, makes her an invaluable asset to Mazur & Co. and its clients.

“Channing is top-notch. She’s smart, conscientious, and tenacious,” said Mindy Mazur, Owner & CEO of Mazur & Co. “I’ve had the privilege of working with her in multiple capacities over the years, and I know firsthand the expertise, integrity, and leadership she brings to the table. She’s a master communicator and storyteller with a knack for developing creative solutions to tough challenges and making complex policy issues understandable and accessible. Channing is someone I trust to get the job done, no matter the challenge.”

Channing’s addition to the team represents another milestone for Mazur & Co. as it continues to grow its impact in strategic communications, public affairs, and operational support. With team members in five cities, including Washington, D.C., the firm is well-positioned to offer expanded services and reach more clients across the country.

“The best communications strategies stem from strong organizations with clear goals, so I’m thrilled to be joining a team that not only helps clients tell great stories, but also partners with them to build more effective organizations and achieve meaningful results,” said Grate. “Mazur & Co. has a stellar reputation for developing tailored, creative strategies for clients across industries, and I look forward to helping the firm expand its reach and impact even further.”
