What Our Clients Are Saying

Gateway has been invaluable in protecting the interests of the Missouri summer camp industry for over six years. Irl Scissors and his team of associates look at our needs not only as camp owners, but as small business owners and industry leaders that employ hundreds of young people and serve thousands of adult and youth campers statewide.

Charlie CaspariExecutive Director of the St. Louis Section of the American Camp Association

Gateway consistently goes above and beyond – they identify possible problems which may impact our business long before they become unmanageable issues for us, and provide strategic counsel and navigation within the legislative process on our behalf. For over six years, Gateway has been our trusted partner at the state level. Our firm and our clients are grateful for Gateway’s strategic guidance and dedication to detail.

Michael AngelidesManaging Partner, Simmons Hanly Conroy LLC

During my tenure as Governor of Missouri, Irl Scissors was a strategic and sought-after advisor. His contribution was consistently outstanding and highly valued, and I consider him to be a trusted partner in all that he does. His work ethic, intellectual abilities and personality, made him one of the most effective members of my office.

Bob HoldenFormer Governor, State of Missouri

Partnering with Gateway allows us to expand our public strategy, PR and consulting practice to more industry-specific clients, and reach new campaigns, and allows Gateway to expand their media footprint – it’s a win-win every time. Thanks for many years of a successful partnership
