WHO WE ARE

​

Lycos Magnus was founded in 2022 by two longtime friends and colleagues, Laura Magnus and Jessica Lycos. Laura had spent 16 years as a state lobbyist in Arizona, building an impressive record of legislative wins and deep client trust. Jessica emerged from the campaign world and Capitol Hill, where her network and instincts for political strategy became highly sought after. Having known each other since 2012, the two recognized that together they could create a non-traditional firm in Washington that had unparalleled access and deliver real results.

 

From the beginning, Lycos Magnus was intentionally built as a boutique firm. Clients engage us for our direct involvement, not an impressive pitch followed by a handoff to a lower level associate. We love what we do and genuinely enjoy the work. Every engagement, you get us, our relationships, experience, attention to detail and political acumen.

 

We’re selective in the clients we take. We welcome unconventional opportunities others might avoid. When we do engage, it’s because we’ve already vetted the path forward and have a high degree of confidence we can deliver. Once we commit, you are a daily priority. We treat every engagement as high-stakes, because for you, it is. With Lycos Magnus, you get the full intensity and focus of two highly competitive principals who are determined to win on your behalf, every time.
