Kivvit --the result of a merger between David Axelrod's ASGK and Maggie Moran's M Publi Affairs-- is the PR firm that helps governors and mayors sell the public on austerity (including the closing of schools and breaking of public sector unions).
Meanwhile, it's also made a killing helping to open the public pocketbook for a variety of private interests for industries including the film industry, real estate, nuclear energy and natural gas suppliers, gambling, and the UFC.
In 2015, the two firms that co-founded Kivvit boasted revenues of over $15 million.
