History

In 2016, Axiom Strategies was enlisted by Kelli Ward in her unsuccessful Senate candidacy in Arizona versus incumbent John McCain. In August 2019, Axiom hired former acting US Attorney General Matthew Whitaker as managing director of its Clout Public Affairs division. In 2017 Axiom merged with Revolvis, a west coast consulting firm.

In 2018, the company entered into a partnership with The Prosper Group, a digital marketing agency. In 2019 Axiom acquired the Kozlow Group and the Momentum Strategy Group, both of which are based in Florida. The firm opened an office in Orange County, California in 2019 preparation for multiple competitive House elections in the area in 2020.

Axiom Strategies has been credited with assisting client Glenn Youngkin's victory in the 2021 Virginia gubernatorial election. In the 2022 Missouri Senate election, the firm has provided services on behalf of Republican candidate Eric Schmitt.

Cameroon lobbying

In September 2018, Axiom Strategies' Clout Public Affairs division signed on to lobby for the Government of Cameroon for $55,000/month. Former HuffPost managing director Jimmy Soni and David Polyansky, the former Chief of Staff to Ted Cruz, were hired through the Clout Public Affairs division to advocate for Cameroonian interests in Washington.

Axiom consultants were contracted to promote a “positive and favorable image” of Cameroon’s government through digital ads and to place "targeted op eds in conservative-oriented outlets in order to foster a robust and growing partnership narrative into the future...” according to Department of Justice filings.

In 2020, Axiom Strategies terminated its contract with the Cameroonian government.
