about us

The Bivings Group (TBG) is a Washington, DC-based Internet communications firm that develops cutting edge web programs for corporations, trade associations, advocacy groups, political candidates and non-profits.

Founded in 1993, TBG began as a traditional public affairs firm.  As it became evident in the mid-1990s that the Internet was transforming the way people interact with each other, The Bivings Group shifted away from traditional, offline public affairs offerings to focus on web-based programs.  As an early proponent of the Internet as communications platform, TBG is one of the few firms with over a ten-year history of achievement in the field of online communications.

Today, TBG is a full service Internet communications firm made up of a culturally diverse team of designers, programmers and strategists.  The Bivings Group’s sole focus is on helping our clients use technology to converse and communicate with the audiences that matter to them. 

In everything it does, The Bivings Group believes the power of the Internet lies not in the technology, but in it its strategic use.
